Into the pool of ink I dive!

Into the pool of ink I dive!

From where I sit

I plummet,

into the pool of ink

I dive

immersed in theatrics

I emerge,

I become;

a preacher, a lover,

a sinner, a thief, a saint.

My subconscious decides....

in truth

on choosing

I cease to exist

no-more,

but in character.

Beautiful portrayal of the Poet/Writer...when the ink is spilled we do metaphorically die a death of sorts each poem :)

[andrew mitchell]

We do, only in character though. Thank you Poppy.:)

[Valentine]

Perhaps most writers take on alternate characters when they grab that pen. Nice way to think about it. Valentine

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Valentine

[Melinda McQueen]

An accurate portrait of a writer. Well done.

Hi Willard I hope you are well and many thank you's for your visit my friend.

[Willard Wells]

Doing well, but the mind is on different journies it seems.

[andrew mitchell]

Well I hope to catch up on your writings

[Willard Wells]

Not writing as much at this time. Rather a time contemplation.

All the world's a stage, we're just waiting on a cue. I quite like your way of poetic reasoning.
