Richard Lamoureux Poet Free verse

I Am Poetry

I read words on a page
Through my eyes
Traveling to my brain
Deceminated to my heart
Absorbed by my soul
Changed in subtle ways
The extending of me

Breath added to my breath
Mingling with my dreams
All my pain and laughter
Inside me crying to be free

Essential vibration
My whole body sings
I am poetry
Filled to the brim
Unable to be contained 

From my soul 
Flowing through my heart
Traveling to my brain
My hand grabs a pen
Soon there are words on a page

Before my very eyes
A new child is born
I am the father of poetry
I am also it's child
Please embrace the scent of me
The emotion of my being

Parts of you in me
All are connected
Creativities stream
Out there to be seen
Until we all see

Each life is poetry




How poetry has become me contest

Arthur Vaso April 14, 2014 at 2:21 PM I was looking for your poem "A new dream" I cant seem to find it! Maybe you can email me a link. Anyways stumbled upon this one and really enjoyed, working on something similar! Have a great day! Richard Lamoureux April 14, 2014 at 2:36 PM If you do a google search A New Dream by Richard Lamoureux it should come up. Thanks for asking, I hope you enjoy it.

Timothy Hicks March 13, 2013 at 11:39 PM Poems changing your life in subtle ways. That was a cool way to put it. Whether or not we realize it, we affect each person who reads, because you are a sharing the essence of yourself, your TRUE self. We need words to make the message clear, but what we are actually doing is extending our thoughts and feelings, hoping for somebody in the world to be touched by it. Good luck on the contest! Richard Lamoureux March 14, 2013 at 7:14 AM Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my poems. I appreciate your thoughtful comments.
