The art of Write

Daffodils and poet quills
Stands and lay a window sill.
Just above the greenery
Filling all the eye can see.

Slumped within a rocking chair
Feathered quill conducting air
Thinks a poet in deepest wile
To write a line in proper style.

Stirs and moves and blinks his eyes
Thinking words in deep surmise
Waves his hands in irate throw
And growls a bellicose no.

His phrase must be remarkable
Multi meaning if possible
Something that will sooth the mind
Without a hitch without a bind.

Critical poetic give
And crucial if he's to live.

be thou not so bellicose
and away with thee, Morose...

for in the Art of your sweet quill
bring thee forth thy daffodil

and to me, so crucial be to read
the word of Sy, that I take heed...


Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

AND IT IS REMARKABLE...
they ALWAYS ARE ... each one ... everytime
must mean "hes" a POET ...  

and those last two lines... poetic truth...
poetic perfection

ahhhh...Sy-wisdom before breakfast ... who needs food to sustain when there is poetry.

Words from such a poet's quill
Far outshine the poet's will
It is not the mind that weaves
The golden phrases that that it leaves
The poet's heart it is that writes
The verses filled with true delights
And always will your glittering pen
Mesmerize this poet friend

Sunshine,
You just keep shining and I'll be fine. *L*

Janet Marie,
Your words are mureen to my eyes and honey to my ears. I'll wash it all down with rasberry tea and I'll sleep like a baby.

Maxtec1,
Thank you Richard.

Elizabeth,
I'll take your words and make a potion that I'll drink just before bed, that should start a notion. Love Sy

JM,
Your words are mureen to my eyes and honey to my ears. And with some of your rasberry tea my dragon will sleep like a baby.
Winkiewinkie stinky.

Maxtec1,
Thank you Richard.

Elizabeth,
Your words are so sweet
I'll make them a potion
To prompt a new notion
Right before I go to sleep.
Love Ya

'Feathered quill conducting air'
How perfectly poetic is this thought.
