A river called Poetry |

A River called Poetry Slowly I let the words slip o’er me Their structure smooth in flow Of a poet’s passions and prayers The rapids of emotion grow And this ship, my mind Which sails across the worded Sea Reveals vast oceans of thought And alternative realities A heart slowly breaking A sorrowful acre tilled A sharing of silly laughter A soul touched and healed The river of imagery runs deep Through lands of truth and myth Words tumble as polished stones Washed down the waters swift And the current of this river In its honesty and its breadth Buoys my world weary self The poet’s most precious gift S.A.T. I do so enjoy immersing myself in the work of so many talented poets. Thanks to all for sharing. |

How impossibly perfect! I loved this poem, especially as I read it after indulging myself in poetry for two hours. How fitting. And the current of this river In its honesty and its breadth Buoys my world weary self The poet’s most precious gift and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me... |

Susan: The capture of these golden thoughts is impeccable. Each line, each word, each verse flowed just as the river does inside. Absolutely wonderful write.' TD |

Hello Susan I'm sure each and every one of us can relate to your fine words. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. "The words of a poet can speak volumes 'tho no words are actually spoken. He has the ability to make a connection with the heart" Take care.......Sue I am in motion |

Know what I've seen lately? So many poets writing so many good pieces... it puts my muse away... I've been wanting to comment on this...read it three times...but was that busy and couldn't get to it. Making time tonight to catch up with the ones that make me say... I wish I had written this... |
