I F I Could

..............................If I could scoop every tear ever shed for   LOVE
                    Create an ocean of emotion opened to one and     A L L
                      A mingling of passions, dreams, a host of family POETS
                              If I could collect  mankind’s memories :  THOUGHTS
                     From the beginning  of time , the beginning of :   FEELINGS
                      Astute minds , with quill in hand, record the first  EMOTIONS
                               If I could gather all the pieces  of a broken   HEART
                     Mend , sew it back together : forgetting  the pain it   FELT
                     Throbs ;  with new vigor : beating a love song of     POETRY

                          If I could write as my fellow Poets on  “POETRYSOUP”
                                                      I WOULD

                               Dedicated to All the POETS on POETRYSOUP

Once again, this is great! I'm getting ready to credit you with this form. You have soup mail. Love, DAne

HG, You, my fellow poet, write extremely well. This poem form is so unique. You need to name it and if possible run a contest requiring poets to write in that form (whatever you name it) Your legacy will be born. I don't recall ever seeing a poem before where the end words create an image of their own as does the poem as a whole. (Am I right or wrong?) Have a wonderful day. Lovinglt, Dane
