In Fancy's Space

I wonder . . . do you know where poets go whenever they sit down and start to write? I think the answer’s easy. We should know it’s where one’s thoughts and feelings can take flight! The poet focuses on a small space inside his mind. Distractions fall away. Imagination is this lovely place where magic happens as words start to play! For some the words with rhyme may come dancing. For others, verse flows free. Words fall like rain. In Fancy’s Space live dreaming and romancing. But there may also dwell there gloom or pain. The poet who can make us think and feel is he who makes imagination real! Nov. 27, 2020 for Silent One's 'Where do we poets go?' Poetry Contest

Congratulations, a terrific Win, Andrea! Your poem grabs the essence of our art form. Love the dance analogy (using steps) for describing use of rhyme. That's right, focusing on a small space..... Making the imagination real.... That's perfect.....! Brilliant write!

Nice sonnet Andrea, you captured the spirit of a poet here perfectly, especially the last two lines.. I am a big believer in making people feel the words.. some do, some do not.. such is poetry in its abstract and subjective nature... Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

In Malta we have a proverb: words are like cherries. You start to eat one and finish them all. ~~
