Warrior Poet Zen 1-2

I think upon the structures that we attempt.

Both rhyme and free style we should never hold in contempt.

How the words fall across the page we place with great concern.

Nevertheless, the meanings to those words we must discern.

The abilities given to us are both a blessing and a curse.

We must be driven to show the bounty behind the verse. 

Author's Note

I must give credit to Nessly for this writing. It was her words in the review of WPZ 1-1, "...I think we as poets strive for meaning behind our rhyme..." that inspired this second verse in this chapter.

I am glad you liked it. There is just such a synergy that happens here. The muse of creation keeps bouncing between everyone in this place.

I know! The last poem I wrote until a couple of weeks ago was, "The Fallen and Damned," which was about seven years ago. This site definitely gets one's creative juices flowing!

Thank you for reviewing my writing. That last line was one I worked on for the longest. It always pleases me when a person gets some favorite lines from my writings.
