A Poet Loves a Poet A poet loves a poet, for there is a common bond A ring of words strung round the moon and stars, and far beyond A thread that wraps around us all and forms a lyric wreath A mutual ethereal twine of friendship underneath A poet loves a poet for we’re speaking soul to soul To pour the contents of life’s cup the single common goal Whatever in our lives has touched the tender inner parts Is what is written into verses by our gentle hearts A poet loves a poet and we recognize the best The ones whose verses have passed times classic test But we also recognize the beauty from a word sincere That flows from pen to paper as a glad or painful tear A poet loves a poet, for we have a common seed That blooms within our gardens and our bestows a common need It’s the beauty of the written word that opens to the sun It’s the pleasure of velvet rose on paper when we’re done A poet loves a poet, for our phrases are entwined In the wreath of written verses, though to one another blind Yet we gather in a poet’s den, a place where they can share The passion in our poetry with other spirits there Our lovely flowers will reappear in springtime’s earthly sod A poet loves a poet, and all poets loved by God Elizabeth Santos |

Yes...when I grow up, I want to be a poet...if nothing more than to stand beside all here.... This is so lovely, and I hope it stays at the top ALL day long...and into the night... |

"Our lovely flowers will reappear in springtime’s earthly sod A poet loves a poet, and all poets loved by God"   YAY!!! Ooohhhhh...I love this, sweet friend, your gorgeous words are always so enchanting and a pleasure to read!

I think you've described the origin of some wonderful friendships as we appreciate each other as well as the words from our pens. *S* This is beautiful, Elizabeth... and flows so smoothly it begs re-reading... just to continue the pleasure. *S* As for the last line... I sure hope so. *S* |
