I'll take you up on it.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
~Kahlil Gibran

Sometimes I say to a poem,
"I don't have the strength
To wring out another drop
Of the sun."

And the poem will often
Respond
By climbing onto a barroom table:
Then lifts its skirt, winks,
Causing the whole sky to
Fall. ~Haziz

Siouxsun: you are wonderfully talented

You will hear thunder and remember me,
And think: she wanted storms. The rim
Of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson,
And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire.
Anna Akhmatova

Tonulak: Curious, that you are quoting Akhmatova...You might have read my four-poem cycle on her in these pages. I'm so pleased that I might have in some small way stimulated intrest in one of my favorite Russian poets. I loved the one you chose for this page:) Best--Ted

Hi it's me, VisionaryPoet777 with a new name.
Not a huge change but thought I'd change it up as to not be confused with Sharon any more.

Jean Lutz: Just another way to describe YOU, my long time friend!

May 15, 2013 at 12:03PM

Poetic Visionary: Hello my Jean! Love you.

Poetry comes from the heart. I do not care for the academic assessment of poetry. Academics can put forth their hypothesis but poetry is like dancing. It springs from deep in the soul. It is an uncontrolled energy which needs to be expressed. The explosion of the inner feeling of the writer's emotions. The lava of the soul.

Larissa B: yes...;)

For all of you who knew Missy98Writer, please consider contributing to this multi-author book in her honor.

I want to see the thirst inside syllables
I want to touch the fire in the sound.
I want to feel the darkness in the cry
I want words as rough as virgin rocks.
Pablo Neruda

SheWolfNLust: I want to feel a love as it surrounds I want to touch what a heart offers I want words with reach to a poets soul I want to fit in that perfect fit.

January 2, 2013 at 12:32PM

SheWolfNLust: a most stunning quote, I love Neruda as well

January 2, 2013 at 12:33PM

SheWolfNLust: I truly enjoy reading much of your poetry and find it absolutely stunning,rich with metaphors and visual imaginary, I am sad though as it wouldn't let me respond or comment, but just the same I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading you xoxo

I enjoy it when others have a gift of gab and can put it poetically.
It's like being invited to a waltz for the eyes or fine wine tasting for the soul.

"Next time I'm starved
feed me an epiphany, instead of
20 boxes of cereal and an entire
loaf of bread." ©2012 Susan Mrosek

Rules of grammar in case you've let it slip your mind.

I before E
Except when you run a feisty heist
on a weird, beige, foreign neighbor.

Receive that. :)

Happy Autumn!!

TREES
I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer

Sarkems: Now can anyone remember the name of the song by Juliana Hatfield that uses the first four lines of that poem?

adewpearl: My boyfriend in high school, who eventually became my husband, used to make fun of me for loving this poem. He thought it was way too sappy, excuse the pun. And I still love it to this day :-) Emsey, I looked up the answer to your question, but I won't post it since I cheated to get it. LOL

September 22, 2012 at 12:18PM

Poetic Visionary: I just saw this question posed. I have no clue!

October 3, 2012 at 7:15PM

Keep silence
don't rush to finish your poem
the finisher of the poem
the creator of the word
will begin to arrive..!
~Rumi

Bicpen: "In the beginnig was the word..."
