The Poet’s Table Feed me She, in whisper of the wind, so spoke Sustain my soul With parchment dry Where black thoughts rest inked That spirits fly And dreams, live on As parchment leaves flutter by Let me walk along the lines Where greater minds Have stood the test And I, alone, Stand with the best Uncomfortable though, that I am here But ‘twas where they placed me Once, my dear I set table with testimony of indigo blue Feed me Whispered she, Come, once more To he, who beckoned at the door We are but withered, loving ghosts Searching still For our Host Something led us Here, to you Feed us just this once, A poet’s brew I fed them both a poet’s stew Then, the voices that exclaimed the night That I might regain A thought, supreme To lay before A most solemn being That I am allowed to be here, with you, to transcend their lives, accepted To permit, let rest, in peace A muse, or two, who naps As he and she have sustained my ease. |

We come as we are to bring potluck to poet's table...a banquet before us, eyes and hearts to feast upon an assortment of finest cuisine, offered to us by master chefs. I thank you, Sunshine, Ron, and all the wonderful poets for welcoming my little girl to the poet's table. I am so proud... Patricia |

This is a wonderful poem, Sunshine - and you surely SHOULD be proud, Patricia. Chelsea, you've written a wonderful poem. I've asked Ron to fix your post for you - He's got magical powers - Let's see what he conjures up...  |

truly this is what it's about. We have something to share, and in so saying, we stand with the greats, if even for a moment. Not in self agrandizement, but with gratitude and humility. Thank you for writing this. Peace, Joe from the big MT |

Feed me Whispered she, Come, once more To he, who beckoned at the door ~~S~~ and let the feathers flurry fly, that we might gleam a moistened eye. That we might touch a wan'dring soul upon the bell's ring at the toll.... For from the toll of weathered bell shall come the strike upon the knell and in this clasp a spark shall touch two hearts, new writes... both loved so much!! |

  (does happy dance) Oh Karilea, I am so happy I found Chelsea's poem, sweet friend, it is a blessing to have more young poets join this golden family and express their own melodies, as we continue to paint rainbows together and muses candy-coat them with citrus sugar! (big hugggsssssss) I can't wait to watch Chelsea grow and mature and blossom and watch her poetry speak many harmonies, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
