I know how to be a poet, but will you write poetry with me? I know the art of expression, but I'm silent in solitude. I have ink to bleed, but no reason to bleed without you. You are the meter in my internal rhyme, without you, I'm an unwritten poem. Let our muses dance with flamboyant flow, leaving behind footprints of ink. Simple Musing.

SO, even your "simple musing" is poetic artistry. I love the parallelism in each couplet that is highlighted by your eloquent metaphor - "you are the meter in my internal rhyme...without you, I'm an unwritten poem." Just marvelous and inspiring. Congratulations on your much deserved POTD! Blessings to you.

' Without you, I'm an unwritten poem. ' Tender and sad, all at the same time. Words will always be a part of you, my dear friend. Those ' footprints of ink. ' Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart. Congratulations Silent One, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

This is so thought provoking! I read and then come back to re-read. Almost shout-response. Quite a talent that produces this by merely "musing". Chosen for POTD...Congratulations. Best - Ken

Dear Silent One, good to see this receive POTD . “ You are the meter in my internal rhyme,” makes me wonder what kind of meter? Iambic? Hows the meter business, its confusingly chaotic for me. Congratulations on your well deserved feature.
