inspire me

I have written several pieces on what inspired me, and this one is for the challenge on Poetry Challenge.

inspire me
with your
heart's desire
fill me
with your
soul's fire,

file me in
your poetry,
an ocean's
misty memory,
wishes
in the sand.

a child's smile,
the laughter of the sun
breaks the darkest day,
music sings of
love and life
and treachery --

a writer's words
broken hearts mended
entire histories upended
not sure how it
came to be
but your poetry is

inside me.

I chose this song because it changed my life when I heard it

Such an invigorating way to describe the inspiration inside us. The sun laughing is a jolly image to imagine. Such a beautiful expression of simply reaching to the soul to pull forth ideas for our pen. Thank you for sharing. Well done.

This is beautiful KL.
I'm lousy at the review part but this gave me goosebumps.
There's so much inspiration all around but especially in the poems I read.
Beautiful.

[Lyn Anderson]

Well, it's hard to top MusicManiac's review, but thanks. Please read "the Colour of You" I am very proud of it.

[Matching Socks]

I will mos def do that doll. On my way.

Hello there!

I love how the poem has a simple nature that is enhanced by your choice of diction. Actually, I read through it several times because I wanted to make sure I was getting everything out of it that I could :)

The second stanza really stands out to me--I couldn't tell you what it is, but I kept re-reading those lines. There's something beautiful/magical/enigmatic about fleeting words, such as those written in the sand (maybe that's just how I perceived it, though).

The third stanza really speaks to the beauty of poetry, I think. How seemingly common things can bring light to dark days. Taking something that others may look right over and weaving it into a delicate tale--a story that can shine new light on it--is the power of writing :)

I definitely feel inspired and I bet that others who read this will feel the same as well! A wonderful piece, thank you for sharing!

Wow, you are an awesome reviewer, thank you, and definitely, it's those little things that inspire me, emotions, people, and the fleeting moments of life. Thank you for putting this up on the poetry challenge.

[MusicManiac]

You're too kind! And no, thank you for taking the challenge! :)
