Richard Lamoureux Poet Verse

Humbley Sought

I try
My very best
To be

Being
Is the purpose
Of life

Living 
Only happens
Today

Daylight 
Or in the dark
Live free

Freedom
Comes from knowing
Yourself 

Self love
Is the first step
Not pride

Prideful 
Selfish people
Are sad

Sadness
Can eat them up
Inside

In ways
I can't describe 
Fully

Filling
Their empty hearts
With gloom

Gloomy
Shadows make them
Lonely

Alone
In the darkness
They cry

Crying
They truly crave
The light

Lightning
Flashes accross 
The sky

Skyward
Their thoughts now flow
Humbled


Try out my Mussetle Train. Directions are on my previous poem.
Let's see if we can turn this into a freight train, Toot! Toot!
Please let me know if you try one out, I would love to see what
you come up with. It is fun to see where the train ends up after
leaving the station.

Maurice Yvonne December 7, 2014 at 9:58 AM Another great train, with your created form.

Casarah Nance December 2, 2014 at 7:09 PM Okay I want on the train, I guess I missed the boarding call, curious to know what all this is all about! :) Richard Lamoureux December 2, 2014 at 7:19 PM I am trying to create some interest in my new form. My Questionku was accepted so you never know, maybe this one will as well. I hope you enter my contest Casarah.

Monterey Sirak December 2, 2014 at 6:45 AM I love the randomness of this. It is like at every switch point the poem chooses which track to take next and the poet just rides along. Fantastic!

Demetrios Trifiatis December 1, 2014 at 4:34 AM A lovely line of thought that after passing through gloomy tunnels of despair shows the light of redemption! Excellent dear friend, Richard! Enlightening and uplifting! Richard Lamoureux December 1, 2014 at 9:50 AM Thanks Demetrious, I hope you give the form a try. It is interesting where it takes you once you get going.

Timothy Hicks December 1, 2014 at 2:26 AM This carries like the blitz form; not even the poet knows where he/she will end up, when it's done! Many thoughts to ponder here. I like how you distinguish self-love from pride. We can't expect to love others if we don't love ourselves first; we can't give away what we do not have. Richard Lamoureux December 1, 2014 at 9:51 AM So true Timothy.

Kelly Deschler November 30, 2014 at 12:39 PM This poem travels in a different direction with each stanza and I didn't know where the journey was going to end up.... I really enjoyed this interesting and expressive write. Nice work, Richard! Richard Lamoureux November 30, 2014 at 5:03 PM Hi Kelly, so glad you enjoyed this piece.
