Inked Impress

We are as we were before, But you inspire me more. Any real poet knows you're with us or against us, Together we're one. The world will wonder what's wrong, When our work here is done. We honor the new, We honor the old. We do as we say. We say as we're told. We know the answer and it goes without saying, Peace of mind in our work, Moral compass not straying. I have yet searched for your name but see you none the less, I created this writing to honor your consistent quality, I must admire, I must Confess. -end-

' Any real poet knows you're with us. ' Yes, that statement holds so much truth. Even though I linger in the shadows, I can feel her presence. Such a beautiful tribute to Ink Empress. Your thoughts bring a smile, Michael. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Brandy

Nice tribute Michael. These are the kinds of poems we should be celebrating, poems that build up rather than tear down. Enjoy your day

This poem is for you, Ink Empress. I was alone in my car crying. Everything was too much. Life was too much. So I came here and when I did, I saw your name. I realized it couldn't be some artificial intelligence spamming me, but a real living creation...replenishing me. It reassured me and gave me hope to keep going. My phone kept buzzing and I was getting irritated. Thank you Ink Empress. And thank you all. I asked for help today from anything and even said out loud, "Help isn't coming, Michael." I have never been so happy to have been so wrong. - Michael

This shows an admiration for a poet, perhaps Ink Empress? The title is similar. I'd have to agree. Consistently beautiful poetry.

Lol that was the contest requisite. She is consistently on the grind it appears. I've had my favorite share of writer's block. I do mean the compliment. Giving the contest a shot.
