Joy Touching Words

The tips of your words are tight packed with nerves

Touching transmissions of musical light

You surge in hot pulses of language divine

To express your soul made meaningful fine

You pour from the deeps of your ink well of joys

To soar in the keeps of creation that buoys

You feel in my feeling your music is felt

That talents to you by life have been dealt

Touching creations of gentle insight

The tips of your words make love-versing curves

I love the line ink wells of joy. Something so magical about that!

[Lyingwithlions]

Indeed a creative and inspiring piece! I really enjoyed this read. :)

What superb meter! You've always written traditionally - as far as I know, and in this are still amongst the best locally. Your phrasing in parts is academic - holds the moment but with regard to form, '.. You pour from the deeps of your ink well of joys .. .. To soar in the keeps of creation that buoys.. ' I truly appreciate this poem,. thank you so much for reminding me of the past masters.

Curious how I absolutely enjoy reading the classics, yet rarely write as such.

Elegance in poetry is alive and well. T

[R J Askew]

Cheers T. I hope all's well with you.

[Beccy]

Romantic, classic and beautifully rhymed; my kind of poetry every time.

Beccy.

[R J Askew]

Cheers Beccy, I do do chaos too *bows*

[Catlen]

Beautiful as well, my dear poet!

It's 19th Century work, and I mean that as a compliment--the ease of the meter and rhyme...well, that's a throwback to a day when those were not objects of scorn. Virtuoso stuff, indeed.

[R J Askew]

Cheers, sir, always good to hear from you .. I reckon there be a beauty in form .. yes, the 20th century did happen and did deconstruct the old ways but the 20th century is now behind us and the old ways still have some merit to them.

[R J Askew]

p.s. I always wondered about your trumpet image. One of my kids is studying English at uni and I read some of his books out of curiosity. One of them is, yes, The Crying of Lot 49'!

as it is written, Don't Ever Antagonize The Horn.

WOW... IS THIS ABOUT THE MAN IN THE PIC..? IF SO..WHO IS HE..THEN I MIGHT BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS FINE WORK...

JAZZ......:)

[R J Askew]

Thanks Jazz. There's someone I know who writes her life into her words so much that they feel alive. The pic though is Eliz Barrett Browning. I recommend her poem 'Bianca Among The Nightingales' - Ron

[J. J. Nightingale]

I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE PIC AS BROWNING...LOOKED LIKE A MAN..SORRY..MY EYESIGHT IS FAILING.. WELL DONE...I DID ENJOY.....

[R J Askew]

Hey, not to worry, it's a murky pic of her. Glad you enjoyed her poem, it's wonderful.
