Dandelion Lines

My pen rights my sins I can admit my faults Time and time again Writing finds me when lost That’s the fun of it To lose myself in my pages If dark then find me lit By the enchanting words and phrases I’m embarrassed to admit Often I don’t think at all Pink pen seems to vomit And journal catches it raw You can read my mahogany mind Running rabid in the nighttime Perhaps the best time to create And escape the world and fate Music is poetry with sound Universal is it language like love Turning smiles from frowns Perhaps creating turquoise trust So when I’m at a loss At my wits end as they say Music or poetry a toss To come whisk me to safe place

Dear Karen, I adore your "dandelion lines"! Your imagery and metaphors are rich and striking like "You can read my mahogany mind/Running rabid in the nighttime" - so unique, visual and visceral! Indeed, "music is poetry" and poetry enables us to explore places and experiences, and feel the magic of heart, soul and imagination. Your golden pen shines, my poet friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

An wesome poem,Karen. Do you know how powerful your lines are? Read your poem aloud with no Tv, music or radio.you should do tgat for allpoemsyou write, me too. Poetry was meant to be musical in the beginning. Not read, but sung in Greece.. Imagine that. Anyway, once again, I’m telling you …you’re quite a poet.you exen said that in your outstanding poem.. Great job,,Pabgir

Really sweet of you to say that Pangie! I struggle to grow! I’m going to a songwriting group tomorrow night and hope it helps! Thank you for your support! It means a lot. I’m rereading to see where I said I was quite a poet. Hmmmmm.

I wasn't expecting the vivid clash of images as I began to read this piece. The third and fourth verses especially stick out of the maelstrom for me. It's like looking at a Jackson Pollock piece. Love it.
