Notes About The Poem

Blitz Poetry Contest

Sponsored by Silent One

Honerable Mention

Best De Tour De Force

Poetry unlike the rest
Poetry I like best
Best as non-fiction
Best as one’s conviction
Conviction of the heart
Conviction comes apart
Apart from others views
Apart from your issues
Issues we must address 
Issues woven to express
Express it in loose term then
Express even if you squirm friend
Friend I listen 
Friend you glisten
Glisten with valor
Glisten with color
Color our world with screams
Color unfurled dreams
Dreams you make come alive
Dreams of a swan dive
Dive deep to your goal
Dive into your soul
Soul mates on paper birch
Soul search 
Search within 
Search for words to pen
Pen despite limits and critics 
Pen as it permits not for cynics
Cynics blind to a poetic jewel
Cynics bitter and cruel
Cruel and hollow
Cruel spirited not to follow
Follow your words
Follow the songbirds
Songbirds protocol
Songbirds call
Call out the façade
Call upon God
God knows your floetry
God gifted your poetry
Poetry forever lives 
Poetry gives and gives
Gives tremendously
Gives us plenty
Plenty will agree
Plenty will see tour de force
Tour de force with symmetry
Tour de force so passionate
Passionate
Symmetry

Hey Anaya, you wrote such a wonderful and creative blitz, but sadly you got the last word incorrect.. it is supposed to be symmetry... however, I still awarded you with a Honourable Mention...

Dear anaya, your blitz flows so well that i read it in one breath. You should do a spoken word for this as this is beautiful and so well written i found the word floetry so cool! And how it rhymes with poetry. Love that. You have a very inventive and imaginative way of weaving words and that can be seen through your work. Pleasure reading your work always. So good to see you posting more now. Sending you light always

Ink you are magnanimous, above the riff raff. It's a special kind poetess like you that find positive attributes in poets-poetry!! It's such a shame how cynical they can be, shocking hate poems, I've even seen them bring Instagram persona and really hate on! We learn to weed 'em out! Yay --you won't find me at their platform, or on any social media, PS is it! ;D

Exactly, funny experience on another site, someone called my poem “ peculiar” haha! And i was like “ so you decided to go about calling others art “ peculiar” and taught them that they should focus on the good in a poem as what we write comes from out heart and if they have nothing nice to say just run along and move on: guess what? Now they claim to be a fan, asking for permission to use my lines too. Hilarious: i accept constructive feedback but not when one ridicules my work. We are all learners and like you said its our personal choice. Sending you light always

Ink, you may want to use floetry, but really it's made up! It may not count for your serious poetry, I don't care as much and at times I make up words. lol. The important message here sweet Ink is; stop cynicism. We can only grow in poetry. We don't need pot shots at our poetry. That's not education, it's low-down bitterness. Thank you, Ink for reading my work and finding pleasure in it. I appreciate it. ;)

oh I see you rhymed it. I hope that is not a requirement of the poem, because i did not rhyme mine, but it's really cool that you did it that way!

Not a requirement, Andrea. I couldn't get through it, then I found out that rhyming was the way to go! :D

Sotto, thank you. I rhymed , it's not supposed to, I need structure I suppose. Rhyming got me through it! :)
