The Poetry Man

Inspired by the song by Phoebe Snow.

You write of angst and ecstasy

where lovers meet

in fantasy.

 

Your sensual words entice me

with sultry prose

seducing me.

On wings of love you take me

where souls unite

eternally.

 

Should the whole world crumble

yet will I stand

for my heart clings to

the poetry man.

I've always loved that song. Yes, the poetry man makes things all right...and your poem does the song justice, Dara. Lydi**

[Dara]

You are so right, Lydi. So great to see you and thank you so much for your wonderful comments.

The world will crumble, and you will stand, and you will cling to your good man.
Well-written and well-formatted, dear Dara.

[Dara]

Thank you dear friend for this sweet review. It is so good to see your words gracing my page. As always they warm my heart.

that was a great song, but this poem stands well on its own...

your phrasing is exquisite...we feel how she is drawn to him.

nicely done.

What a lovely written piece here Dara. So heart telling of the person that you love to read and that means so much to you.

[Dara]

So many wonderful poets here, so little time :-) Yes, poetry has the power to reach the heart like no other. Thank you for your read and sweet review.

~It's amazing how we can often be so entranced in a song that its intended meaning slips by unnoticed. At least, that's what happened to me until I found out the true meaning of the metaphors and the fact that it's about an affair. (duh) haha She will be missed. Great poem. ~

[Dara]

Yes, sometimes I get lost in the melody and miss some of the words but this one touched me in a personal way. Thank you so much for your wonderful review and comments.

[Dara]

FYI he was single ;-)

[Relic]

Oh my, I am just so honored that you have added this to your library. Your words warm my heart. You can think of this as you pen your beautiful, romantic poetry and the female hearts that you touch with each line :-)

I'd forgotten about this great Phoebe Snow song, and kept thinking "Guitar Man" by, I think--David Gates. As always, your writing is wonderful.

[Dara]

Thank you so much Sam. Yes, it is a great song and one I only came across again recently in one of my 'flashback' moments. :-)
