Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Rhyme

Last Words For This World

*                                  my peace will be found
                                                     in your embrace
                             as stardust trail tears
                                                           streak your face
                          whereon my longing
                                                       will at last be quelled
                         where upon your flesh
                                                        my name is spelled
                             when I am returned
                                                      unto your womb
                                    my maker my lover
                                            my home my tomb

Gershon Wolf August 21, 2018 at 10:29 AM This is such a gorgeous poem, Maureen. "...where upon your flesh my name is spelled..." That line resonates and reverberates with me, a man. All the more so must it with every child-bearing woman who reads it. Bravo! Excellent! Congrats on your win in the contest. Best wishes, Gershon Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 21, 2018 at 11:30 AM You believed in me more than myself my friend. I can't thank you enough for that. Love and hugs, xomo <3

Curtis Moorman August 21, 2018 at 2:42 AM Mo, you are so full of surprises. You seem to always find your way to the top win with such little effort. I admire and envy you girl! Congrats! Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 21, 2018 at 8:01 AM Ha, thank you so much Curtis! I'm glad it looks like such little effort; I can spend hours on a single word, then days moving it from side to side ;) I really did try to make it longer, but I had found all my perfect words. Love and hugs! xomo

Connie Marcum Wong August 21, 2018 at 2:29 AM A never ending circle of love. This is absolutely beautiful Mo! Congratulations on your wonderful deserving second placement! : ) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 21, 2018 at 8:05 AM You got it love <3 my ultimate love poem. Thank you so much Connie! I'm thrilled to make the list with this piece, it does come from from my heart. Love and hugs, xomo!

Gregory Richard Barden August 21, 2018 at 2:26 AM Most of the list-toppers were much longer than yours, Mo, but here is a great example of why that means very little when it comes down to superb poetry, as it is exquisitely constructed, and is like an arrow through the heart. You are a master of not wasting words, and I can only aspire to such. Witty, intelligent, and breathtakingly beautiful! Congratulations on your SECOND PLACE in the 'My Muse, Mortal' Poetry Contest, Dear Mo - blessings, my friend! :-) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 21, 2018 at 8:10 AM Thank you so much Greg! I was hoping depth would compensate for length, I tried to make it longer but my muse refused, and I was pleased with it, we can't sacrifice our art now can we ;) then when it begged for form... I had to oblige. I'm thrilled that it made an impression. Thank you again, for the prompt and the win, xomo! <3

Gershon Wolf June 25, 2018 at 5:27 PM Profound, lyrical, expressive, a bit enigmatic ---mix it all together and voile! you've got a winner in the contest. Take it to the (glory) bank. Outstanding, Maureen! Kudos! :) gw Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 26, 2018 at 7:28 AM We shall see, me thinks he's looking for longer deeper... tell me, where you sending those bribe payments to the Bard? ;p xomo!
