The Spark Of A Poet ~*Marge Tindal*~ Treasuring the words that come to us Savoring each thought that we maintain Reaching outside the realm of self Sharing so others may gain Trying to pen a simple poem that will touch the heart of just one Recognizing that we have a desire to see the work live on Inspired by all we see, think or hear Our pleasure comes from deep within Cognizant of the power of our words The thoughts flow from heart to pen Needing no other recognition than knowing one heart shares our cause Reflecting for a moment Giving just one heart poetic pause A poet's life is feeling the words long before they embark Setting another heart aglow from just a tiny spark To set the cinder of poetry gently in another soul Blowing it to life then watching as it grows Oh, to be a poet is sheer joy ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

"Inspired by all we see, think or hear Our pleasure comes from deep within Cognizant of the power of our words The thoughts flow from heart to pen" Miss Marge, only you could have said it all this way. Such a treasure, your words. Thank you, my friend. Love to you, Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

SpitFire~ To share just a spark of what we love is the greatest gift a poet can give or get. GGRN~ Oh, how sweet. I merely share what has been shared with me. Alicat~ My pleasure comes in knowing tht I got to read a whole lot of good poetry in my travels with this family. Thank you for your kind thoughts. Claire~ So true are these feelings. Just knowing we can share the spark that glows within us ... is so rewarding. Cinder-fella~ You send sparks a'plenty to set my heart aglow. Love ya'  Karilea~ To gather the sparks of another is a treasure of this heart. Denise~ One spark can light a poet's heart forever.

Marge- when I came to Passions two months ago..I was just beginning to write. It was just a simple wish to try and make one that was good. I never knew the joy I would get from writing but now it is like I cant seem to learn fast enough or grow fast enough. I am totally inspired by poets such as yourself and all the others here and I am convinced that if it were not for all of you....I would have given up....I hit search and took the first forum I came to. It just happened to be here and I am forever grateful for that. Dont mean to ramble but your poem hit me and I just wanted to share that with you and all here. YOU have been a big part of that as you know. Thank you. Your poem was terrific as usual my sweet poetic friend. |

Marge~ What awesome writing here my friend!! You have said it perfectly. Poetry is the best best gift one can give or get...I agree 100%. Loved this one. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Oh Marge you have said it so well. It is truly a gift from the heart and a burning desire to express that gift never dies. I could feel the warmth of this piece as I read and I understood one more time how we are so connected by this wonderful medium. This is a wonderful tribute to the nature of the poet Marge and who better to express it than you. Keep up the fine work dear poet lady!! |

MarkB~ You certainly validate my thoughts. Just look at how we all grow from the touch of others. Thank you, my friend. LoneWolf~ Giving of ourselves, sharing thoughts and feelings that matter ... to someone, somewhere ... that's what matters ! Vicky~ Oh, your poem in Corner Pub certainly says what I was attempting to get across. Thank you. ETHome~ Connected we are ! Isn't that a great feeling ? Yep ! Sudhir~ To be anywhere with a poet is to be in 'heaven' ! I thank you for everything, my friend. SarahC~ Thank you for the reply. To touch another is a poet's dream. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Poety is does show so many facets of our lifes. Sadness, happiness, ups and downs but this one thing I know I wouldn't change a thing about it. Wonderful poem! |
