The POET

Yes, we are a quirky lot...

                     we sketch from our hearts

 minds connected to the universe

                     with ethereal cords

velvet paints our words, 

           celestial vapory thoughts etched in poetry

tongue lashings, depression, joy of life,

                      nature and lust of love

all bound in bonded text, secured with soul, 

               tied in gossamer ribbon

like a prayer on a zephyr

 we place our imposing nuances in your care

 sacred are the words of a poet's 

                   outward flight to new horizons

I love you use of inconsistent rhythm and meter within an established sonnet form. The use of enjambment and lack of a heroic couplet or even full stop shows the continuity of the narrative group, it suggests a poets that a poets work is never 'finished', we just continuously search for new horizons without an ultimate resolution. I like this message of an infinite world to explore through poetry.

Thrilled that you did, since my poetry knows nothing of meter and I'm terrible at rhyme, whatever is in my heart flows through my pen, so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the visit and your kind words J.L.

[J.L.Marcus]

I think that's what gives this just a raw emotional tone, the fact that it is direct thought gives it an overwhelming sense of truth.

[Frieda P]

You're too kind Mike, thanks.

[Stacey Watts]

This was very captivating. The words flowed nicely. I agree with your words here. It is quite a feat to capture the pure essence of a Poet and their words for the true art of expression and you did this rather nicely. Excellent in fact.

[Frieda P]

Really jazzing on your review Stacey, thanks so much.

[Jack...]

[Baby Ricochet]

That's what we do on here!? I should print this and post it above my monitor and read
It the next time I get the urge to write something really dirty. It may quell that urge... Naaa

[Frieda P]

You're in there Baby, somewhere between tongue lashings and lust of love, read between the lines. ;-P

[Baby Ricochet]

[Frieda P]

Good to know...;)

[quinfinn]

yep, read this start to finish several times and i have searched all over my personage for gossamer ribbons and none can i find. what the hell are you talking about? all jokes aside though, i love this intricately laced and lovingly penned tribute to the art, the joy, the angst and the very essence of poetry and aspiring to be a poet....i think some of us have a poet's soul, others have a lover's heart and still others have both.....frieda posies has both.

[Frieda P]

Excuuuuuuse me? I saw gossamer ribbons on your page just last week, and the day before that, and the...catch my drift? Thanks quinster! ;-)

[quinfinn]

if you say so...it must be so.

[Frieda P]

So glad you're being nice to mama :-)

Haha, am I ever bad? ;-P Don't answer that.....
