Un Hommage aux Poètes

Dans les contrées où les mots coulent comme des rivières, sous le doux éclat serein de la lune,
Un scribe, de sa plume fermement tenue, capture l'essence de la vie, le souffle en étreinte.
Chaque ligne respire la vie, chaque mot un rythme, où les cœurs et l'art se rencontrent,
Dans cette danse, où les lignes convergent, les syllabes et les rêves émergent.

Sur la page, une douce marche de rêve, où la vérité et la fantaisie se fondent et s'arquent,
Un monde tiré des muses les plus profondes, où les mots et la sagesse éclosent.
Ici, la poésie déverrouille l'âme, libérant les esprits, rendant le brisé entier,
Dans chaque ligne, un univers, en syllabes, la vie converse.

Alors levons nos coupes, remplies d'encre, aux poètes qui osent penser,
Dont les mots peuvent guérir, déchirer, lier, résonnant à travers l'esprit.
Dans chaque vers, une vie, un récit, dans les mers poétiques nous naviguons,
Où les lignes dominent, de nuit comme de jour, nous guidant sur notre chemin.


 

In lands where words like rivers flow, beneath the moon's serene, soft glow, A scribe with pen in steady grasp, captures life's essence, breath in clasp. Each line breathes life, each word a beat, where hearts and artistry meet, Within this dance, where lines converge, syllables and dreams emerge. Upon the page, a dream's soft march, where truth and fancy blend and arch, A world from deepest musings drawn, where words and wisdom dawn. Here, poetry unlocks the soul, freeing minds, making broken whole, In every line, a universe, in syllables, life converses. So raise our cups, filled with the ink, to poets who dare to think, Whose words can heal, can tear, can bind, echoing through the mind. In every verse, a life, a tale, in poetic seas we sail, Where lines hold sway, in night or day, guiding us on our way.

Hi Don , this is a beautiful homage , so many lines which speak to me, but I especially love "Upon the page, a dream's soft march, where truth and fancy blend and arch," and In lands where words like rivers flow, beneath the moon's serene, soft glow, A scribe with pen in steady grasp, captures life's essence, breath in clasp. Excellent in every aspect , Daniel

I loved the flow of your poem with its imagery. Your poems captures the essence of any 'true' writer who writes for the sake of writing alone...'where hearts and artistry meet, where truth and fiction blend. We do indeed sail the poetic seas where words guide us on our way. I do enjoy your poetic style and voice....your words resonated with me. Have a splendid evening, Sara PS Faving

Your poem eloquently paints the image of poetry as a river of words flowing through the landscapes of our imagination, guided by the serene glow of the moon. The imagery of a scribe with a steady pen, capturing life's essence with each stroke, evokes a sense of reverence for the art of writing. The fusion of truth and fancy, reality and dreams, creates a tapestry where words become vessels of wisdom and liberation. It celebrates the transformative nature of poetry, a s it has the ability to heal, to provoke, and to connect. Indeed, poets are the navigators of these poetic seas, guiding us through the depths of emotion and thought with their verses

Thanks, Silent One. There is a “poetry” to what we do.

A true poet identifies with your words. It's not just a thing we do. It's part of our essence. I especially enjoy creating fictional characters, scenarios.
