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 |

Definitely a mission...and one that seems to grow harder with the bleeding of the passions of youth I think. Much enjoyed your musings here. |

Paul - What flows in an artist's veins isn't blood, it's paint. In a sculptor's veins, it's dust. And in a poet's veins, it's ink. You're right P. We arrange words as an artist arranges color and a sculptor arranges the chisel of stone. Hope this comes in handy when most needed and thanks for spendin' a spell. Namyh |

Michael - I don't know sometimes I feel the same way. But if I see a beautiful woman, a baby playing, a starlit night or eat a slice of pizza and see a never watched Star Trek episode, I'm inspired and feel I've just knocked off 10 years. Perhaps passion just waits at the brink of extinction for someone or something to resurrect it or it waits at the brink of explosion for someone or something to ignite it. And right in between is often we poets to soak it all up and then put it in words for a clarity fused with the experience of our age. Hallelujah! I'm feeling better already! LOL.Thanks Mike. Namyh |
