Where Flowers Bloom

The fantastical world of poetry.

Somewhere beyond the clouds

There is a place

Where flowers bloom.

 

What a silly thing to say.

There are no flowers in the sky.

 

Flowers bloom on the ground.

But a poet doesn’t live

On the ground.

A poet lives

In the sky.

 

A poet sees flowers

On the backs of seagulls

And in the shadows of stars.

And he writes about them thusly.

"a poet doesn’t live, on the ground.
A poet lives, In the sky."
Truer words were never spoken! A poet's world is pure bliss....birds, blooms, colors, stars...a place to find our greatest joy and lay down our greatest sorrows. This is ethereal poetry...filled with depth and meaning...makes me feel grateful and proud to be a poet! Beautiful!!

Very nice! A poet's mental image at work.

Has an almost legal-brief like quality to it, which plays of nicely against the highly ethereal notions of flowers and places beyond the clouds; it's a bit as if Dorothy had arrived in Oz with a briefcase stuffed with legal pads, which might have made a better story come to think of it.

This is very true about poets. Great job.

Ma'am, this is positively amazing poetry! You're a great poet and also very wise. Thanks for sharing!

We see differently, for sure. Great expression of the sun that shines on the other side.

[Chase Kopsch]

Woah, that was deep. That's "Chicken Soup for the Soul" worthy. Well done.

It's called "poetic license" and poets take it all the time.

[My Favorite Writer !]

Deep, yet true ! They say that a writer live in his own world, but I must say though it is a reflection of reality..it is still better than that..nicely crafted and very well described !

theres a place in heaven only roses will bloom
you make a good point,we are not bound we soar we fly
we think out loud and we paint what we see or feel

[Alene Parr]

Thank you again for reading and leaving a review. I was thinking about how grand and flowery so much poetry is and on one hand I think it's ridiculous, but on the other hand it's totally necessary.
