Matthew Anish Poet Dramatic Monologue

Early Saturday

We dance 
down the paths 
     we should 
have gone down 
years ago
Reaching out 
through our 
souls for verse
   let's continue 
our struggle 
continuing to 
taste reality 
and catch 
violent winds
as they move
as they sing
as they dance
as they 
   light up our world
   Well - you 
know that we are not
totally free
 but....
Purple lights 
appear on 
   the scene
we shall 
react to them 
in a matter 
  which seems 
   appropriate 
to us
Will we reach our poetic goals?
I think we will!

Carolyn Devonshire October 10, 2009 at 10:44 PM I think you have reached your "poetic goals" in this awesome poem, Matthew. Poetry is an expression of our reaction to the things that surround us. I like the way you describe the "purple lights" that appear and the reactions they generate. Great work! Love, Carolyn

Sara Kendrick October 10, 2009 at 4:03 AM Thanks for reminding me that I could be a late bloomer. Like the way that you put it together. Thanks for comments on my work. Keep writing. Sara

Elaine George October 9, 2009 at 9:47 PM Hi Matthew, I am trying to do just that . It is 12:42 early Saturday. In replay to your question regarding my Haiku 'Rhythm of the Falls" - if you go to Contest section on the Left hand side of Poetrysoup Home page and click on it, you will find a list of the contests you can enter. You will see Raul's Merano's contest 'Rhythm of the Falls and see the picture of the falls. You should try it. It's fun. Thank you for you kind comments. Love, Lainie

Donna Golden October 9, 2009 at 8:48 PM Yes, those "purple dreams" shall urge us on! Lovely, Matthew. And, yes, I know what you mean about subconsciously writing deeper meanings in our work. In the words of our Sean Kelly, WRITE ONNN! Hugs, Donna
