Question

My Thanks To the Real Poets Here

My spirit yearns to soar the lofty heights you attain

with careful rhyme your words sing a symphony

while marching across the page in cadence strong.

You brush with artist's deft stroke across canvas

pure beauty in words, painting a masterpiece

visions seen with poet eyes more sighted than mine.

With gifts of depth, love of language, an instinctive

weaver's knowledge you create rich tapestries of color

blending music, vision, expression pure and true.

My spirit's own merit lacks such ability, yet remains

contentedly grateful to be transported to places

it could not go unless stowed beneath your gifted wings.

Answer 1

*clapping* once again ma. Just once again. ♥

Answer 2

All I got to say is: I'm glad Buk got you posting poetry again. These types of poems and spirits are what I come here for. I'm a cold hearted person by nature and this place helps thaw me out a little each time I visit. Thank you.

(I see you brought some P&S buddies over . . .)

Many thanks to you for sharing your real spirit and ability for weaving pictures from words.

Answer 15

As another novice I can hear what you say, but you have shown your true vision, we all will learn poetry and life from each other.  Great write, Ma!

Answer 16

You are pretty good Ma.  Keep up the good work.

Answer 17

Don't underestimate yourself, ma! You are a real poet...Buk is right, you lack nothing. Poetry is not something in which we are to be  compared with others -we each have our own method of expression, our own vision, our own story to relate. Some are spare with words, others more verbose -yet each has something to offer, and your offerings have been quite eloquent.

Answer 18

Gadzooks! We've created a monster. Everybody run, Ma's got a gun!

Answer 19

Your spirit does soar each time you open a door to your heart and soul and express it in the written word. You don't need to fly under the wings of someone else, because your wings are fine. Believe in yourself and the depth of your own heart and spirit and don't compare your message to anyone else's. Theirs is different and it should be, for this is YOUR song. You write beautifully and from my perspective of poetry, it's the passion behind it that matters most, not that the style/ form conforms to what others think is perfectly correct. Your poetry is lovely and I know it touches many in some way and that is what truly matters.

Answer 20

I'm with Buk on this! That is as good as it gets!

Answer 21

Beautiful.

I am developing a love for poetry.

I teach it to my students and they wrote a poerty book which was published and distributed in the school.

I am very proud of them.

Answer 22

Well aint no newcomer but i love poetry. I enjoyed this one and i can only say keep it up .. You and Buk got a nice thing going.  

Answer 23

You have shown so much with so little exposure. Unlike myself. Your restraint is admirable. We are all thankful to and for each other. I know "they" have changed my life here! Thanks is a place to start for me.
