~ I Choose Poetry

Poetry, inside out

pen'd perception of heartfelt essentia

    the inner workings of the mind

language twisted into art form

   canvas on which with we spatter emotions

          perfected marble, chiseled of words

overflow of leviathan soul

   purge your worries

     a punch to the gut,

sing a song from within,

  a wink of enchantment

trip over your ego

    it can tickle or make you cry

nuances invading what makes you tick

    empathic and abstract or stark reality

hardcore erotica or sensitive romance

   dances on your tongue & twinkle toes

undefinable at best~

    unrelenting in it's charm

~I choose you to consume me~

Indeed poetry can be many things, if it is used in the right way. Always it seems it is a window into our soul and as poets we must never close that window, maybe draw the shades from time to time, but always leave a small gap at the bottom so our thoughts have a place to flow. Very nicely done Frieda. You have captured poetry in yours.

[Frieda P]

So true, so true Jack, thanks for your insightful review. :-)

Sigh.

Where
Our tears are
Poetic measurement
Of the depth
Which your words
Moves our souls.

In the gentle current
Of words
Across the screen
Describing everything
And yet
Nothing.

For poetry is
Infinitity defined
By the human mind.

[Frieda P]

Love this.

Your welcome, Frieda.

There is so much of the author in his or her words. Poetry is an extension of ourselves and through it we connect in an intimate and unique way with our readers. It runs the gamut of emotions and who were are. Well said!

[Frieda P]
