Her Eyes, the Stars






         Dreaming she is a ballet star,
         Practicing delicate, ballet moves
         before huge mirros and with ballet barre.

         There's something wistful in her smile.
         She knows not, these memories will
         last more than a little while and take her far.

         She will be unable to post a picture 
         with most poems.
         Knowing her poetic words mean far more
         than a picture can ever hold.

         An art gallery? No, she will never be.
         An artist with words only, she hopes to be.
         To paint both stars and mysterious sea.

         No shortcuts to true poetry for her.
         Her words only hers, woven beauty,
         Of her history and finely.finest words.

         A long way to go, to be the poet of her 
         dreams.
         No sell outs, no teams, just wants her
         poetry ala delicious, like fresh whipped 
         cream!

Poetry can stand alone on words and does not need fanfare. I really enjoyed this piece.

Who knows when one becomes a poet/poetess? I sort of think, writers are born -- and most of us run from it -- too revealing. First seeing Ila, most attractive was her flawless looks -- in silks, made her own clothing, a house of blossoms -- her piano playing seemed angelic.... I'm saying, in contrast to my hard-body, sweaty-beard, busted-up fists, it was a different world of feminine softness and eloquence. Women are all art, beautiful just being women (hardworking also, and Freedom Champions).

PRINCE DE MINO.I have been a person of depth, most of all of my life. Writing jumped up a few years ago. I love your sharing about, elegant, Ila, that really touched me. As a woman, I am far from perfection.I seem to relate to males with tender hearts. I loathe egotistical males..the Macho types, or the male, I am better than anyone...sinless and pure. Give me a break. Outright liars.arg. Like honest men with a passion in any field...they capture my heart forever. Women can be champions. Raising a family takes more than we are credited for. Panagiota. Thank you
