Grey Skies Are Raining Poets

Is this a poem? I will let poets decide I read here, words and prose How is it possible Such ingenuity, over and over Inspirations Expressions of the heart Kindness exposed Bitterness sits in the cold Storytellers Poetic wisdom's Lovers shedding words Lost souls attacking verbs Poets in mourning Deep and emotional losses Opening the gates of heaven For the bereaved and forlorn Poets dancing Poets crying Poets who dance and cry Add some spiced rum and tears Poets who ponder why? Poets who offer comfort Random words of the charitable order Poets who cannot compose Yet they are more poetic Brutal exposure of the heart Is poetic in its own right Painters of poetic verse Who disperse art like candy I bow my head In honor of you all My last request When that dark omen of death arrives There shall be a poetic funeral I shall write nor speak no more Of lovers and poets Drunk with words You all, hoist some cheer I wish to be surrounded With poets As all of you

Well it's certainly better than cats and dogs! Each rain drop, a poet with a story to tell... very interesting! A heartfelt piece from your pen. A charitable order, but certainly nor random... each word has a purpose.

When that day comes and I am still here I will hoist a few and say a few choice limericks in your honor...there once was a man mighty dark...he had no bite behind his bark...always love and good cheer... buy you scotch and a beer...he's now with the angels who hark.....happy new year
