Tattooed Emotions on Paper

for creative poetry

A poetic covenant written in tattooed ink

Glistening words etched on the avid heart

Flowing through veins without a navigational chart

Literacy emanating in vibrant scarlet red

Thoughts emerging swirling in the creative head

 

Expressions surging across the grey matter

Producing colorful polka dot splashes

Artistic thoughts ignites electric flashes

Bolting over the imaginative mind

Slashing at realities gripping confines

 

Adamance for the melodic lettered notes

Flares in the eccentric resonating soul

Leaving gauche addle minded people out of control

Verbalizing creativity to those who understand

Reaching out with innovative gifted hands

 

Prolific imagery sings to the poetic masses

Strumming a rhyme on inventive pages

As metaphoric phrases are released from cages

Tattooed emotions produced on paper

Encompassing the being like water vapor.

I could spend a lot of time on the title alone...The idea of an emotion being tattooed is very good. The flow of this piece had me going, and the line which struck me here most especially was,
" Bolting over the imaginative mind
Slashing at realities gripping confines."
Very powerfully done.

When we create, no matter the form, it takes us into boundaries that have no limits; letting us escape reality from a period of time.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

An absolutely excellent piece you have created here.....Your mind is brilliant! Encompassing the being like water vapor, most definitely!

Respect, Love, and Gratitude, is tattooed on my arm and at the end of all my reviews. I love the idea of this, taking that emotion of forever on my body, and putting it out there for the world to see displayed in a piece of poetry or prose… I mean it is a big thing to put something on your body that you will have to live with for the rest of your life, I think if more authors would put that kind of passion into their works we would see so much more emotion in works… I have to tell you that closing stanza just brings this whole piece home…Perfect flow and rhyme, more importantly the feel is spot on!

Great Write Christina!
RLG,

This poem pulled me in, without thinking I went into it, reading it fully not 1'ce but 2'wice and I still felt like I couldn't understand what you were saying! Which to me IS AMAZING writing, I like the feeling of being, kept in the dark of the real thought or idea. Lovely.

[Lovely Lady]

Wow... enthralling. You captured the essence of the creative mind's process so well. Great write!! ~lovely♥lady~

I like the way you described your desire and purpose in the poem. Tattoo are permanent on the body and our words we want them to be. Complete poem was a pleasure to read. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

Baring the heart and soul is what poetry is about. Like a tattoo once written it displays who we are. So many great metaphoric references.
