The Poet

For Ian (The Dirt Poet)

Your words are spun silver,

delicate, fragile.

Forged in your heart's fire,

spreading light as they rise.

Hot snowflakes revolving,

gently spinning and turning.

Each different yet perfect,

from a beautiful mind.

They fall softly like stardust,

and your alchemist's magic

weaves spells and melts ice

as they pierce my insides.

I liked the way you used the words. Bringing life and visions to the reader.
"They fall softly like stardust,
and your alchemist's magic

Your tribute to the poet is a tribute to the lustre of your own poem! Very beautiful!

[Firebird]

Oh thank you Solar :-)

[Zugzwang]

I really enjoyed the lyrical singsong quality of this. The meter was really fantastic and a pleasure to read out loud. The Dirt Poet sure does write great stuff...he's a sensitive and beautiful soul.
You ought to encourage him to put his stuff up here! Maybe he'd like that.

[Firebird]

Maybe. Though he already posts on his own website. Perhaps I will mention it to him anyway. Thank you for your review!

[andrew mitchell]

[Firebird]

Haha! Thanks! I'm going to tell my husband that. He just laughs when I read them to him.

[andrew mitchell]

Wow if that's the case don't mention mine lol

[Firebird]

Haha! I know what you mean now. I just read the farmer one! Thanks for that!

great last line to wrap up this perfect description of a poet using image-full metaphor...

love the oxymoron of "hot snowflakes"---

Wonderfully descriptive tribute to a wordsmith and how those words touch the reader. Sometimes you stumble on a write or writer that breathes new life into words, which breathes new life into yours. That is why we write after all.
Havent come across this poet, but will look out for his work. Or maybe you can send me a read request of his work.

[Firebird]

Thank you for that. He posts on the Poetry and Meditation group of Insight Timer app. I recommend that app for anyone seeking peace and contentment within and also for the lovely kind and supportive people from around the world who use it. If you get it let me know and I'll add you as a friend.
