Would You Still Be A Poet ? ~*Marge Tindal*~  If you had not a drop of ink to quill across the page Would you still be a poet as words within you raged Wouldn't you wish to share the thoughts held in your mind Penning them to another who would such pleasures find As like the tree that in the forest falls our words must make a sound Reverberating quill of air speaking poetic voice now found Keep not your verse in silence share the gift with which you're blessed Find the ink to spread your thoughts so they may to your living attest Quill with thrill your thoughts that they may find release Spill your think in profusion of ink Let your words never cease Perhaps another may be seeking exactly what your heart is speaking ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I might only hope of note that someone feels of what I wrote as I feel for the read of you in all you say, your dreams, too but if I only please, then, me why, it is worth it, don't you see? psst, Marge! Congrats! [This message has been edited by Lady In White (edited 07-11-2001).] |

Interesting... I wrote verse in my head and shared with no one for a number of years. I would think of a phrase, and build on it, or an image and try to describe it..keeping it in my head until I was satisfied, then forget it...never writing them down. So I guess I would be a poet even if no one had eyes to read or ears to hear...it is just part of how I think...and what I am... I enjoyed the verse... and while my ramblings are not to your point exactly...your poem made me think of them.. thank you |

Perhaps another may be seeking exactly what your heart is speaking Many times Marge, I have found what I was seeking in the words of others. Much wisdom is to be found here at passions, and your words I have enjoyed much today. This was wonderful. Hugs On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

To think that my hand is connected to my mind and my thoughts are revealed on paper..... to express my living to others, it is wonderful no matter how imaginary my ideas may be. I'll keep trying, but there's alot of empty space between here and there.... gives much inspiration to write and to write more. |

Perhaps another may be seeking exactly what your heart is speaking ================= Let each play his own song in words said or yet to come and let's the music soar up high telling of things we might know and others we might still to learn ``````````````````````` Between all this......dear Marge you are certainly a lovely poet.....I see this as a wonderful tribute to all our pens that forever seem to be entangled with our minds and thoughts......and even our hearts. So thank you dear.......  ************************************ It's only me.......only me |

If you had not a drop of ink to quill across the page Would you still be a poet as words within you raged Wouldn't you wish to share the thoughts held in your mind Penning them to another who would such pleasures find ====================================== Ahhhh dear poet of many muses.... I need this one today...for the words they rage..but still they dont make it to the page... (moody dang muse)   I love the premise of this one.... so clever. and while I know why Sun is whispering... I shall NOT....( Im not known for my subtlety)  Congrats on 18,000!!!!!!!!!  YOU DESERVE the reverie... YOUR REPLIES speak for themselves... they are always sincere, encouraging, and filled with both a love and respect for poetry and your fellow poets. Its NOT about the numbers...its about the number of people you touch Thank you for the MANY times you've touched me  meFeels like Im dancing with truth and wisdom |

Well congratulations poet girlfriend! Now, my theory is that you don't do the poetry - it does you, how about that theory? You never run out because you are never filled up, and the day you are is the day I will be really worried. The last two lines says it all Marge, and you are continually sending out heartfelt messages hidden in your poetry that make people think, take inventory, or get in touch with their inner self. So, to you my dear friend, here are to 8,000 more, and many more words coming through you from the many muses of Marge. Hey, there's a poem in that somewhere right? Hugs to you sweet lady. And...in answer to your question, yes I would still be "poetic", but I won't ever be a poet, and that is okay too. [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 07-11-2001).] |

This is a beauty, Marge... It flows with grace of rhythm and tenderness of rhyme... and it asks questions I had a hard time answering for many, many years. *S* Cause yassee... I wrote for decades without sharing... the words were there, the drive to write was there... but never once did I refer to myself as a poet. It was only after Toerag came into my life that my poems became more than a deep, dark secret. I never spared that poor man anything. LOL. And he... and later Long John... cajoled and cussed, begged and browbeat until I started posting regularly. (Okay... so my idea of regular poem posting is once a month... and many people probably wish Toe and LJA had left me leashed! LOL) And then one day, I startled myself by referring to myself as a poet. So, in my case, the words didn't become poems until the silence was broken. *S* ---------------------------- Let your words never cease Perhaps another may be seeking exactly what your heart is speaking ---------------------------- I hope your words never cease, dear lady... for so many times, you've spoken straight to my heart. CONGRATULATIONS on 18,000!! I thank you for each memorable poem that's part of that number, for the encouraging responses you share so generously... and especially for the kindness you've shown me. Write on! *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 07-11-2001).] |

The question that comes to mind for me is, Would one have a choice? Somehow I think not. Congratulations my friend, and I agree with Janet, it's about the number of people you touch. Take care! "Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our |

Marge, I guess this is quite a milestone. Congrats. And yes, I would still be a poet. You know, I always wrote in my mind, and only occasionally scribbled it out on paper. NO ONE ever saw it, until Passions. So I am so grateful that all of you have allowed me to share my pent up words. And the last 2 lines you write here, I believe are very true. So often do I sit here feeling like the only one on earth with such a situation, and then-poof-someone writes about the very thing. Wonderful poem. Sandra |
