Where Do Your Words Come from?

 

 

Where Do Your Words Come from?

 

 

Pray where do your words come from?

My Lady once said

They come from my heart and sometimes my head

 

And where do you find them?

My lady once said

In those legendary Ley Lines that make up our fine bed

 

And why do you write them?

My Lady once said

To serve to remind you long after I am dead

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

So many never ponder what their legacy will be. As poets, we are always cognizant of this and this drives us to hone our craft to degrees of perfection. I have often said that the "classics are classic for a reason." They have stood the test of time because they are great. I have also said that I want my poetry to be on the same shelf as Lord Byron one day. It's the humblest hope of one who strives to be better than I am. Your poem is a summation of this desire. Lovely!

[Neville]

Wow, thank you so very much & now I am truly lost for words. All Good Things, Neville

[Beccy]

Quite superb. As I read this, and especially so in the second stanza, I see 'My Lady' as this lovely place we are fortunate enough to inhabit.

[Samuel Dickens]

I once read that the urge or need within us to create is a protest against death. By writing, painting, sculpting, etc, we leave pieces of ourselves behind. Excellent, Neville.

[Neville]

Hey, I am most grateful for your opinion and review Samuel. Many thanks, N

there is a little bird that no one can see

and she sits on my shoulder

and sings in my ear

and that is where

my words come from

[Neville]

Well, well, well what do you know then?

[Emily B]

it isn't so much the image as the voice from your words :)

The question and answer style is impeccable. The rhymes are simple, but it's a lovely thing, as well as the format.
