As the Earth Turns I wait my notions of create Much like the motion of the earth To leap the plains delineate And pass the pain that is its birth. In the moisture of mornings dew The offering of life to drink I wait for crystal drops to view To dip my pen and write its ink And never has it failed me yet Nor ever has it laid a bill. And I am fully in its debt Nor do I think it ever will This nectar of my flowers word Sends colors to the seeing Eye It gathers in the field a herd And often feeds upon a sigh. As flowers lift their head to sun So I will write till I am done. |

Your force of will with ink and quill bids us all to write To share our woes and smite our foes with words that share our plight So thanks to you and all you do to give this face a grin As on I moil in woeful toil setting rhymes that do me in. Thanks for a fine story. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Some speak the rule that a poet tis but a wordy fool ... their small minds lacking the cool to know thy pen is a tool. They understand not the terse of conversing in verse ... that we seek meter's coerce and rhyme is a invited curse. They know not the bliss of a closing couplets cadenced kiss ... and I'd be remiss if I didnt say ohhowIlovewhenyouwritelikethis! *winkiwinkie* |

I desired to read this poem because of the title. It somehow reminds me of a poetic soap opera if there is such a thing. Anyway, you write much better than I think. Thank you. etoodog |
