Notes About The Poem

For Tom Woody's My Special Poet poetry contest..

There are many special poets and brilliant poets.  I chose The Aura of Rhymes, because she is a great friend and poet.

Aura of Rhymes


This one goes out to a special poetry souper.
Dedicated to an unknown rhythmic ink trooper.
Her poetic pen is mightier than any sword,
she cares not for attention nor craves to be adored.
Not a daily poster, but like petals her words grow,
releasing deep thoughts like tranquil rivers flow.
Pouring out pain, portraying a life full of commotion,
she's never afraid to reveal deep repressed emotion.
Nonchantly, composing sonnets, prose and monorhymes.
A 'free verse' soul with a pure gift, ahead of the times.
Sometimes her humour can lead to hysterics.
Other times her words sing like melodic song lyrics.
From undefined uncertainties to unseen and unheard,
they're relatable verses, reflected through sentiments stirred.
Elegant as a redolent rose with that Midas touch.
Her art is like a masterpiece that needs no retouch.
Needs not hide behind metaphors to create her poetry.
Hails from an island of sapphire skies and turquoise sea.
I know her journey has faced a mountain of adversity
and living among devious souls has caused controversy.
Despite the darkness, she glows like a lantern at night.
In times of trouble, always finds the willpower to write.
When torment arrives, stabbing my heart with spears,
she's always there to ensure my mind's not full of fears.
A honest heart with the modest grace of a pacifier.
Has formed a legacy of an unassuming versifier.
Like a peacock spreading beauty - flamboyantly.
For me, the Aura of Rhymes is poetic royalty.

"Other times her words sing like melodic song lyrics. From undefined uncertainties to unseen and unheard," Lovely read, Si; it is all about alive words, making contact with the heart of a reader. Then a poem truly sings.

Dear silent one, youv described a beautiful rhymer in such beautiful rhymes! I agree with you she cares not for adoration and she is not a regular poster but one that is brilliant and sweet and strong! So sweet of you to write a tribute for her and i love also the fact that youv used alliterations here and how youve described where she is from etc! Her aura is as exotic as where she comes from! I especially love the line “ Needs not hide behind metaphors to create her poetry“ hah sounds like she is the complete opposite to me. And sometimes she questions my metaphors too! Haha! She is cute and looks like she read it all and appreciated this poem too! One that has seen so much and experienced so much in life but is a warrior! She is one in a million! A diamond! Best wishes for the contest too! Great choice for the contest as it can help with introducing and lifting up a poet that isnt so popular on this site!
