I Am Poetry

I read words on a page Through my eyes Traveling to my brain Deceminated to my heart Absorbed by my soul Changed in subtle ways The extending of me Breath added to my breath Mingling with my dreams All my pain and laughter Inside me crying to be free Essential vibration My whole body sings I am poetry Filled to the brim Unable to be contained From my soul Flowing through my heart Traveling to my brain My hand grabs a pen Soon there are words on a page Before my very eyes A new child is born I am the father of poetry I am also it's child Please embrace the scent of me The emotion of my being Parts of you in me All are connected Creativities stream Out there to be seen Until we all see Each life is poetry How poetry has become me contest Written march 12th 2013

I was looking for your poem "A new dream" I cant seem to find it! Maybe you can email me a link. Anyways stumbled upon this one and really enjoyed, working on something similar! Have a great day!

Your poetry is a real extension of yourself, as you say it so well, Rick! And your poems have always been such plain, elegant and living testimonies of your real life and being; and we are all proud of your "work" among us: no need to say how much you deserve our praise and this first place in the contest! Hugs, Hanitra

Poems changing your life in subtle ways. That was a cool way to put it. Whether or not we realize it, we affect each person who reads, because you are a sharing the essence of yourself, your TRUE self. We need words to make the message clear, but what we are actually doing is extending our thoughts and feelings, hoping for somebody in the world to be touched by it. Good luck on the contest!
