Poet Inside

I think that there will always be,

A poet here inside of me.

One who likes to read and write,

With ink of black on parchment white.

The words which cause our hearts to smile,

No malice in the words, no guile.

The love songs in his heart he sings,

To paper he sets many things.

He sings of love and angels wings,

Of cupid's arrows and their stings.

Sometimes on war he will lament,

I think his words are Heaven sent.

He thinks in meter and in rhyme,

He does it at the strangest time.

No matter where I seem to be,

His words he always makes me see.

Some songs to ladies makes them cry,

Some simply ask the question, "why?".

I never know just what he'll say,

I wonder what he'll say today.

Will he be happy or be sad,

And write of good times, or of bad.

This poet my heart longs to see,

Oh, how I wish it could be me.

  1. I bet you tap out rhythms with your foot while your sleeping.

    To answer the question:

    No, a poet cannot live inside us, you must take them out for the occasional walk--as you have done this morning.


  2. short of your poetical-attitude, me think..

    it can be the same(a bit)with Archibald Macleish's "Ars poetica"

    or Sutardji CB's "Kredo Puisi"..

    well,

    its some good work, bro..

    salute...

    sorry for the syntax&morph..

    (^o^)y-~~..o00OO

  3. But it is you.  Another gem.  Do you dream in rhyme? lol

  4. Our Dondi's Muse, a fair one true,

    he pens these words for me, for you.

    His love and joy for all to read,

    His love for words fills all our need!

    Thanks Dondi!  It IS you!

  5. A thoughtful writing and a reminder of how some of us feel some of the time. I think the second verse might benefit with some re-work. Especially the fourth line. This verse doesn't flow easily as the other verses. Fifth verse, last line. What about using the word 'write' instead of the word 'say' since it is used in the previous line. Just thoughts. Could be I'm not in sync. (Weary from Internet problems)

  6. Did you ever read a science fiction story titled "Earth Song?"  (NOT Michael Jackson's song). The story tells of a song that became the anthem of  the leaders of our planet as they left a dying Earth for the stars.

    Yours is the song we will be singing as we leave for heaven in a burst of flame.

  7. I love it!

    Ok so what we gonna name him? mini dondi, perhaps? Come on give him a name, he deserves it. Here's an idea. Give mini dondi a perfect name, and then call this poem by that name.

    How about the name "Amandeep"?

    Gender:

    Boy

    Origin:

    Sanskrit



    Meaning:

    Sharp witted; light, lamp of peace



    Pronunciation:

    (ah MAHN deep)   [Guide]

  8. bravo that was excellent
