Poetic Spirit

There is an entity

In the pen of every poet

Around the world.

Though never seen

It is always felt

In the hands of the artist.

It is like the poem

Writes itself

Through the heart

Of the poet.

There is nothing

That can stop

This haunting,

Which the artist

Is grateful for.

Because those

Haunting words

Lets the readers know

That they

Are not alone.

dearest Dale... when I pen poetry... I do not feel alone... the haunting Heather persuades my pen. We color our hearts with a Meadow Lark song. Tenderly, Pat

Thank you for your input

[Patricia Wedel]

Dear Dale you are a poet who knows the Nystery of being guided by a Star ... I also feel the “force” of inspiration as do many poets.. we have that in common and it is so much more than simply Input... it is divine Inspiration. May your days be blessed and your nights feel the haunting smile of the Moon. tenderly, Pat

I agree my friend.
"Because those

I liked the above lines a lot and reading give me peace and my mind sanity. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

The poet speaks of the muse here. All of us long for it to speak to us, but alas, sometimes it chooses to be mute.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes, A muse is like a cat. You do it on their terms

[Chris Shaw]

A poet's poem Dale. When the muse calls and demands there and then that the words are set in ink. Mine usually comes alive at night, when everyone else is sleeping. Relatable lines you have written here. Only a poet would understand.

it came to me while watching Ghost Adventures. You got to love the unpredictability of the muse

[Stella Armour]

Sometimes that is just how it is, a spontaneous poem just begs you to write the words and they are always the best poems. Written without hardly any editing and then you think "Where did that come from?"

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Exactly. Mine came while watching ghost adventures

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I agree, Dale. I am so grateful that the muse has taken upon herself to dwell inside of me.
Poetry is a lifeline.
I really like this piece---it is us. As is the title of that new show.

Thank you Jacob. I am blessed by her haunting me.
