In Search of That Name

Up and down I quickly scroll In search of the poet’s name So desperate to feed my soul And my anxious thoughts to tame I scan with my longing eyes This heart igniting to flame I wonder where it could be? The halo around that name I breathe a sigh of relief There it is, glorious sight The name that is sure to bring Dreams vibrant into my night I click with growing ardor Read and savor every line Each thought entwined with magic Transports me to the sublime I sigh with deep contentment Nourished by all he has shared Dressed with the robe of his words A gift of the soul he bared Refreshed, I rise from my bed A brilliant start to my day In this little heart a wish That his name is here to stay Eileen Manassian Ghali PS....Welcome to the world of technology, Soupers! ;) Our poetry must reflect our changing times. Computers, text messaging, posts...etc. Also....Read my Sonnet XX to know what I think about guess work! ;) Let the poet write in peace....enjoy the thoughts....and let mystery reign supreme! :) I'm sure you all look for names of poets whose work you relish, so you can relate.

As do I search for names, your name being one of them I seek out, as you well know. Lovely write, my friend. May your poet continue to brighten your days. Licia :-)

Great poem Eileen. I think P/Soup is a rather addictive site-- but a good one :) I read Christian connotations into this?? Either way a lovely piece.

Awesome! This makes me wonder how our poetry will be valued & read 100+ years from now, the way we value a good Shakespearean poem. Nicely done!

I know, right? :) How are you, Drake? All well? I hope so....Imagine how they will laugh at works like Ipad and Ipod when they have....I don't know what to even call the new fangled gadgets they will have then...I know you are a wiz cause you are creating computer games...WOW! :)
