A PICTURE OF WORDS

To be a poet

Is to play with words,

To tease the reader

With thought provoking verse,

And to keep the reader interested

Just read between the lines

While the power of the poem

Is where the imagination lies.

Hi Andrew. Man oh man. Your mind travels in the best places!!! This is so good. It is so true and I hope poets never forget they are here to entertain. We should give time to mourn, time laugh and time to thinking as deeply as we like. Great write, alf

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you alf as always I find your reviews more entertaining than my writes. Thanks for the smile my friend:)

Just about one of the coolest definitions of a poem and poetry I have encountered my friend. We bring as much to the words as the author - from a personal point of view, Id refer to a computing term , "GIGO" - garbage in, garbage out - you get out what you put in.
Really strong here in terms bang for your buck, Andrew.
I like this - my new favorite of yours.
:)

How I agree with you on this write. Many times it is what we are not saying that needs to be paid attention to. I loved this one. Valentine

[John Alexander McFadyen]

This was certainly thought provoking and interesting and had my imagination going as I read between the lines!

[andrew mitchell]

Again thank you John , its so interesting as everyone brings their thoughts and images to the table with their writes. What a journey to follow each and everyone's paths

Thank you my fellow poet as i look up and see you on your pedestal from the floor below admiring all your super writes :0;) Say hi to LL for me:)

[sereenaoutloud]

aw my friend that is too kind but I'm on a chair while you are on the stage! Your writing is beautiful and creative! :)

[andrew mitchell]

But LL your stage is the world and you forget to mention the chair is 100 stories high!!;) and you hold the reader to ransom with either tears or a sore cheeks from smiling with your lovely style and that's a great writer in my eyes:)
