Poets ponder and will never forget, expressing emotions in joy and pain. Scribbling words from sunrise to sunset, ink flows like a breeze in sunshine or rain. Their powerful pens lay strong foundations, as paper highlights their raw reflections. Poetry helps to release frustrations, as imprisoned thoughts sing with inflections. Composing legacies, where words bring peace. Penning sonnets, haikus, free verse and prose. Purveyors of words, where silence must cease, so their tongues are free to bloom like a rose. When hands tire with time and ink yearns to rest, poets are content, they've fulfilled their quest.

A terrific Simple Sunday Musing Sonnet. I think we make each other brave on poetry soup and definitely inspire one another. Blessings my friend, Jennifer.

"Their powerful pens lay strong foundations, as paper highlights their raw reflections." quite poignant there, Silent! When the writing "bug" catches, scribbling words from sunrise to sunset, really isn't that much of an exaggeration. I hope too find inspiration anew, in spite (or because?) of these trying times. Very accurate sonnet concerning why we write.

wow... awesome sonnet my friend... my muse and mind are weighted down and hoping she breaks free...I fought to write a couple poems over the course of the last month, even reading didn't come easy...but this weekend seemed to be easier... glad I found this one, love it! hugs

'Imprisoned thoughts sing with inflections' Very good. 'Tongues are free to bloom like a rose' Very bad.

Very nicely said, my friend! Indeed, poets are brave seekers as well as profound enchanters...I think God was having an extra mystical day when he created us:)

Poetry brings out your inner feelings of pent up emotions. You have epitomized those emotions!

I'm certain you are far from fulling you quest and that your hands and ink want to rest - you are so well respected and your poems so much sought after - in any case won't you miss us all? I have written a Pantoum, if you would care to read it. Blessings, Jennifer.

Oh yes! And how much it pains me to write less! I have to read for my job during this isolation time, not what I want to read. Be blessed, dear one!

The power of the pen is mightier then the sword, it's been told. It can be used express yourself, paint a painting, send a kiss a love across the world, or even say good morning I miss you. Wonderful express my friend. Hugs

Such a wonderful feeling, being able to let all emotions free. In a Poetic way. Words will always be, and so will moments of the heart. When hands gently rest, our poetic thoughts live on. So beautifully written and expressed. Silent One. ~ Brandy
