Lift Me Higher

LIFT ME HIGHER Please don't allow me in dirges to wallow! Stay with me, with some French coffee or tea. To some of e.e.cummings to read, Or WH. Auden, I plead! I can only some of my neophyte poetry withstand. Hardly poetry I would call, over the moon. Writing by my freshman, pedestrian hand, I want to erase, as if were all is sand! Bring on Pablo Neruda, William Shakespeare, men of depth! In their words to swim and verily to swoon. Here, on your lap, swaying, beneath a smiling moon. Octber 28, 2019

Such thoughts have often crossed my mind, Panagiota! When we read the works of 'masters' we tend to downgrade ourselves...and yet, we carry on writing:) Regards // paul

Oh, I meant the works of, let's say, ee Cummings, remind me to find my own unique poetic voice. All of us here can dance to any poetic form. Uniqueness, my own Individuality, has appeared not often as I wish it would)) the Bard inspires me.hope I made sense. Panagiota xxxx

Inspiring, my friend. I often feel the same way with my 'rookie writes.' Bring on those heavyweights! Thanks, Panagiota. Cheers, Gershon
