Aptly

Wise words work well
Time truly tells


Speak simple swirls
Timely thought twirls


Live loud laughter
Walk wild wonder


Touch tickles time
Rapture reaps rhymes


Seek starry space
Treat tensile trace


Be beyond blame
Nice notes niche name


Aptly ask aim
See sober sane


Laughing lines loom
Zealous zest zooms


Brief blooms blossom
Aim arcs awesome


Feel fancy float
Bright beauty bloats


Dream dazzling dance
Claim cheery chance

Yayyy! Thanks :) I was just telling Clara if only you were here! I could invite you to my class to give a talk about poetry writing. It doesn't come naturally to me and I am finding it to be quite a challenge having to inspire a class of grade 4 kids :/

Dear Mel: Just a simple advice here: Follow your heart. What works at your gut feeling will tell you that you're on the right track. Tell your kids that poetry comes from feeling what you're feeling. Words are merely the expression medium. Poetry without words is music. Poetry without sound is art work. Poetry in solid form is sculpture or architecture. Poetry beyond thought or feeling is insight. Poetry is a fusion of the sensorial experience, and exists as part art and part science. Feeling beyond knowing is the highest poetry that inspires all art forms. That's my understanding of the Muse. All the best then, Leon.
