I pour my heart out for all the world to read Words are planted here just like little seeds Perhaps in time they will blossom and grow When I write them they are pure as new fallen snow Flowing straight from my heart to this poet’s pen They have the strength and might of ten thousand men Some will soothe you when you are feeling down Others will make you feel you wear a jeweled crown Sadness at times emits from my reservoir Grabbing your heart no matter where you are Once you are under any writer’s spell You’ll forget the moment you even fell Their words will wrap around the edges of your soul It’s possible they could leave you feeling whole Warming throughout from deep down within Placing you in a trance as soon as they begin You are transported to many distant lands By the poems composed by these talented hands The world is your oyster to now explore All you have to do is unlock the poet’s door No need to wait, turn the knob now But first remember in reverence to bow Giving thanks to the gods who oversee The blessings that have been given to thee All writing comes by the grace of God. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 04-12-2001).] |

That was an insightful lesson in what poetry does, but I do hope a poet will write it for themself first, and enjoy the excursion their heart and mind explore, as that is the gift, the real gift. This was very well done and a wonderful read. ~*~ I write, therefore I am ~*~ |
