Drink, Drink of Pen, Paper and Poet's Ink

Drink, Drink Of Pen, Paper And Poet's Ink Drink, drink of pen, paper and poet's ink As the red-faced sun in the west sinks And morn's beaming smile promises much more Seas of ice cream and sweet chocolate shores Words and vivid colors- across the page Verses of vivid stripes, every gage. Drink, drink, in heart and soul let wonder spill As snow-white mountain looks at lowly hills As radiant sun shines from the far east Life and love- romance a bountiful feast Words and vivid colors- across the page Verses of vivid stripes, every gage. Drink , drink, see the mind, a new poet born As earth flows with the gleanings of soft morn And world spins into the coming parade Poet warrior sharpens his trusty blade Words and vivid colors- across the page Verses of vivid stripes, every gage. Drink, drink, let eager spirit dare to flee As inner thoughts splash in bright rainbow seas And the painter inks a great masterpiece Verses birthed that bring needed release Words and vivid colors- across the page Verses of vivid stripes, every gage. Drink, drink of pen, paper and poet's ink As the red-faced sun in the west sinks And morn's beaming smile promises much more Seas of ice cream and sweet chocolate shores Words and vivid colors- across the page Verses of vivid stripes, every gage. R.J. Lindley, June 16th, 1979 Rhyme, ( As midnight verses are born, a release ) Note: When heart and pen call the soul to obey When spirit steps up to enter the fray Poet must decide if verse-fruit is sweet Poetry exists with no way to cheat Oft times it glitters as a golden fleece And nirvana - comes a peaceful release.
