                                Grab your pen
                                 from the stars
                             call your muse from afar
                                steal some time
                                 where you are
                               and write poetry.

                              Write sweet sounds
                                like the breeze
                                and you'll laugh
                               while you're free
                           long or short verses please
                               write some poetry.

                             At your desk on the net
                            with your keys ready set
                           sing the songs you like best
                              while you're blessed
                                  by the best
                                  you can be.

                                From your quill
                                from your heart
                           write the words that you are
                              turn hatred to trust
                           break your arm if you must
                            share your tears only just
                               write some poetry.

                            You'll grow till you bloom
                             like a harvest full moon
                             shining truth in a room
                                 and I can tell
                                that you're well
                                writing poetry.

                                 You got taste
                                 you got spunk
                                you got words
                                 for everyone.
                              In a dream or in truth
                             full of love or just blue
                             any way that you choose
                               write some poetry.

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Thank you E-babes ...
yes I remember fondly this sweet intend from you.
A wonderful poetic plea to my ever moody muse.
You have inspired me many times with your beautiful, soulful poetry and music ...
and also with your friendship and gentle ways.
Me and me moody muse thank you sweet poet man, for this and for the smiles finding it here today brought.
This ones for you my Van-tastic poet-pal ...

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Wrap me in your rhythm and rhyme ... your lyric and verse penned in perfect time.
Sing to us your songs of sweet harmony ... you know we love your melodies.
Play us one of your lovely tunes ... you know the ones that make our hearts swoon.
Strum our heartstrings like you strum your guitar ... sing to me of an emerald star.
Take center stage, you belong in the spotlight ... endless encores, sing all night.
You're our sweet poet, gifted music man ... no body can rock us the way you can.

~These Are The Days~
Van Morrison
These are the days of the endless summer
These are the days, the time is now
There is no past, there's only future
There's only here, there's only now
Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence
The fires of spring are kindling bright
Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory
Crying freedom in the night

These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water into wine

These are days of the endless dancing and the
Long walks on the summer night
These are the days of the true romancing
When I'm holding you oh, so tight

These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one great magician
Turned water into wine

These are the days now that we must savour
And we must enjoy as we can
These are the days that will last forever
You've got to hold them in your heart.

What a wonderful poem for a lady who simply IS poetry (no matter how much she might complain about her moody muse! LOL) Great work... thanks for reposting! *S*

Ethome,
You can tell by her response that she liked it and so did I. She is one special poet.
