Alive Not Once ...

We love to type and classify
we find it hard to wonder why,
the quirky and eccentric mind
off mainstreet,much enjoyment finds;
We seek and seek the poet's voice,
in verse and poesy of our choice,
Yes this is him,no that is her
we guess,but can never be sure;
Perhaps occasion,the voice makes,
identity has many takes,
maybe posterity's critique
will provide,the answer we ssek.

Inspiration,in many a disguise
conducts us on its journey,of surprise.

Truth in the lines that Inspiration comes in many disguises..We never know what scene in real life..in movies...in an email....on tv...or what lines in the any book might off up the chance to voice our talent or gift or calling..Keep the creative pen flowing...Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work...Sara
