The Poet The Poet, as master of creation, sculpts with words from ideation. A poetic human Lens under Sun who must concentrate its rays and in bold exquisite ways tug the Heart and pluck its strings, one by one. In a foxhole, words of Courage; out in Space, words of Hope, on a deathbed, poet’s words to feel alive are the jewels within a chest from the heart and head and breast of a poet’s driven quest to pen the scribe. And even when ‘no inspiration’ is the poet’s root frustration and no wind to make a flag of words unfurl, Time will tilt the Lens to daylight bending words to pinpoint insight and one breath will hurl that scribe across the world. So embrace the poet’s mission, as you write with proud submission to this self imposed commission that occurs. So that when you speak of Beauty, Love and Death, Truth and Duty, you’ll make Shakespeare smile with tears and lose his words. Namyh |

There's a book "shakespeare saved my life" which I have started to read (still way far away to finishing it), and your words dear Poet remind me of it. So write on, I know the feeling when words can't come at will. Tackling the muse sometimes is a formidable task, but what a wonderful feeling when you hit them right on. |

Its said that "a picture is worth a thousand words". The 'brushless' poet can create 'pictures' with far less words than that. Thoroughly enjoyed reading your poetry. 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |
