Poet Tree

A leaf that tumbles in the air And drifts upon the ground. A person who sighs and smiles With eyes that speak no sound. Poetry is rooted in the earth, And flies upon the wind. It is not a sonnet nor a verse, It’s a feeling from within.

This poem reminds me our national poet (Eminescu ) standing with his lover (dreaming) under a happy tree whose flowers are scattered by their kiss. It’s a feeling..,

I like the poet tree Mikki, thank you for your comment on my poem...~ Did you really think I'd leave without stopping by to say Good-bye. Never, Muwahahahaha! Why the word alone sounds -forever and difficult. LOL, I love this place and the poets. A couple of soup friends and I are taking a short vacation. REMEMBER! The Best Thing About Leaving is the "RETURN." I will leave in good faith, in hopes you don't forget me, and you are looking forward in having me visit you and your poems in the future. HAHA, I will bring a new me when I return. "I Can't wait to see you again:) If you ever want me to read a certain poem or you wish to say hi...

Yes, Mikki... 'a feeling from within'... sometimes so hard to release... (though you seem to do so with ease)... Terry (you seem to have 'taken a break'... I hope you start once again, sooo...)

Superbly taught Mikki! Poetry is a craft that changes lives, changes hearts, opens minds, I thank Deity for the day I was b orn into poetry - thanks for being brilliant - the Earth is alive, and words are Her whisper - J.A.B.
