Talents

Talents                 by Sami Khalil

An English Sonnet...

 

Whose talents should I paint with golden smiles

Noteworthy still and in truncated wit

Born of ease hands, prized voice and wondrous styles

Teeming ‘Masters’ whose sole wills seldom quit.

 

I stand in awe, with caring eyes wondering

Pointing the parts of wholes second to none

Giving credits fellows earned in suffering

Familiar faces touching the skies when done.

 

Oh, how blessed having their pellucid lights

Worthy of all respect and grateful states

Carrying the mantle, climbing such heights

Where rare people and moments do have weights.

 

Flit not away your time, neither talents

Casting failures… akin to lost students.

well said. our god given time and abilities are indeed precious. we tend to neither recognize nor give credit for both. too much focus on the negative in this life. you stand in the minority with such noble thoughts.

[Sami Khalil]

Wowzy woooo! I agree wholeheartedly dear poet and friend for this wonderful review and truth.
I think if we point those great people out, they will inspire the multitudes in the positive and children will look up to them

[Tom]

The rich and famous ( though they seldom do) should be cognizant off, thankful, grateful as but for the talents of hard working men and women who's skills have been passed down generation after generation, it was they who gave them the platform, the basic grounding to become powerful, while the aforementioned, humble working folk simply carry on regardless, they too will pass on the ' talents ' and seek no favour..

Another worldly wise sonnet poem, brimming with humility and compassion, rock on Sami Sir!

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I love it. You speak the truth in all ways. Your review is a poem in itself. Thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.

You write with great insight into human nature, Sami. Whilst your writing can be dreamy, you live in a real world when dreams are not your poems, but for your sleeping. You use reality but.. in the kindest, gentlest manner,

'I stand in awe, with caring eyes wondering
Pointing the parts of wholes second to none
Giving credits fellows earned in suffering
Familiar faces touching the skies when done.'

You always offer great respect and understanding, my friend.

[Sami Khalil]

OMG! What a wonderful review from a wonderful poet; you bring many talents to this site and beyond. Imagine a world with no talents, no creativity, no inventions! We won't be enjoying all these modern marvels like the computers we use daily. We should hold all those individuals in high regards other than celebrities and such. Million thank yous dear poet.

[emmajoygreen]

The spoken word will ALWAYS be vital. It enhances the glow in the eyes, the stroke of a cheek and laughter shared. If that can't be exchanged then.. the written word needs be thought of as Precious. Thank you, Sami

[Sami Khalil]

All true and well articulated. Gracie millee.

[emmajoygreen]

Prego, signor!

dear Sami... finding the Notes that make a Song is only for the gifted Musicians. Life should be full of pleasure and compassion. For some like you who Paint a Tapestry ... we are beholding now and forever. gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wowzy woooo! I agree wholeheartedly dear poet and friend. You are talented in your own ways; others have theirs. Many use theirs to affect and change our world. God bless them and their efforts. Keep your talents alive. Thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Sami... I am still searching for the golden Key to unlock the mysteries. gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! You are welcome Patricia Wedel.

Oh this reminds me of and could be written about a very special friend of mine.

She is multi-talented, so humble and beautiful....a real gem who makes the world just a little better than it is. Your talent for sonnets simply amazes me.
If I could write these, maybe I would REALLY be a poet....and not a wanna be poet.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! You are one of those masters sir. You are very humble. It amazes me how people can have multi-talets. They make the world a better place as you say. They become symbols and icons. Thank you kindly sir Jacob for all you say and do.

[Sami Khalil]

Note: Maybe you can honor her with a poem not mentioning names if you like.

[andrew mitchell]

Another polished gem Sami, well done you, Sir Sonnet. Yes we all have our sights on our hero’s, heroines, they set the standards for us to strive to.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! So true and well articulated dear poet and friend. I like you final summation; they sure do. We look up to them. You are on your way too. Thank you kindly sir for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us

[Tan-90]

Brilliant piece. I am right there with you in the presence of greatness - overwhelmed and awestruck.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! Good to know. Thank you so much for your time and effort. See you soon.
