Imbedded

A Poets brain is
a multi-centered universe
just listen to the words
lost in nebulous play

Be abstract with the
expression of self
display the vulgar aura
of a primitive life

Be a soul imbedded
in time eternal

By Samantha Campbell

Author's Note

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." ~Sir Cecil Beaton

Virginpoet is going short, minimalist? I'm all for it. Picasso had his blue period, virginpoet goes short. I like what I see here, especially the lines, "displsy the vulgar aura/of a primitive life." It lurks in all of our brains and only the poets and madmen dare look, investigate. I like the rallying cry that is this poem.

This made me hunger and thirst to see your "becoming." Poets' eyes are indeed able to see what no one else can. Yield that to us... let us taste it and bathe in it... drown us in your thoughts eternal, precious Samantha.

thank you very much

I like the ideas of thoughts, ideas and poetry being eternal, you have created a stimulating and thought provoking piece with this, which I very much enjoyed

When it comes to words and poetry, we have a world of things to write about. The imagination is a universe for us to explore. I like your take on Mr. Beaton's words. I'm also surprised to see you writing shorter poetry. :) I don't think one needs to write extensively on a subject as long a they can get their point across in few words. Good job on this.

I like to expand my pallet Ive got several short poems posted minimalist even

This is a lovely switch-up for you--I like the hinting to go within the primal self--not to be scared to see beneath what makes us human. Thanks for sharing!

I'm actually relieved to have found this poem, it's nice to read things like this after getting lost in the mountains of fluff/bullshit poetry people are writing out there. it's very precise but gets a strong point across, and I couldn't agree more

The idea of being in bed with you... *smiles*... and of displaying the primitive life... Yesss

[Coyote Poetry]

Some Poets are more wild in thoughts than other. I have met some wild people. There are writers who lived their word. They tell the real and scary stories. I enjoyed your description. Always alive and powerful statements. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

yes, damn the play-it-safers.

we need to take risks, be fresh with the language etc.

some sitcoms are like that...so formula they aren't funny.

i like this..first line should be "A Poet's brain"

but really a truism..

nicely penned..
