I sip from the ancients
and
the masters of Pip,

seeking satiation,
craving tender morsels,

manna from
the muses and minds
of fellow thinkers,
doers, craftsmen, dreamers.

Poetry is the blood of life,
I require it for survival.

I sip from the masters
of the past and the now,
that I may live.
And I give thanks
to YOU this day
and every day,
for the written gifts
I've received,
the bounty of lifesblood.

I wish you all great Peace and Happiness,
and an unlimited supply of paper and ink.

May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

I stand next to you in a prayer of thankfulness to all the great poets---Hey, wait a minute, you should be in front of me and join all the other fine poets that I would like to pay homage to!

Wonderful poem from a wonderful poet!

Kacy, I also thank  YOU  for writing poetry as only you can.  Isn't it great how each writer can write with their own style, from their own experiences and feelings?
Thank you, sweet lady.

Ideas are only that unless implemented, and you have done a fine job here.  I too am grateful to all the poets here who inspire me directly or subconsciously.

Agreed with the other replies, you are definetely one of these masters you speak of.
In keeping with your Leftovers theme I find that when my cup is empty of spirit or muse I can come here for a refill. Like a Big Gulp!
