Living Poet's Community

I've always loved to ponder, read Poems of poets most long deceased But now I bask quite literally This Living Poet community I still love Ernest Hemmingway And Emily's pen won't fade away But I am truly blessed to see The pen still flows victoriously I have so many tasks to do So I cannot stay long, its true Within this glorious wonderland Of Living poets at pen's command But while I'm basking in each write So oft impressed, filled with delight Upon the newest poems I drift Oceans of words, each poem a gift Carried along upon the tide To 'New Poems' I'll awhile abide Upon a fine glittering shore Of poets never read before Sadly cannot too long stay 'Poems - Best New' 'Poem of the Day' Then again I float away My dear old books are growing dusty Metal tipped pens almost rusty I'm caught within a site on web Where flow of fresh poems do not ebb! Painted scenes and imagery With words that flow out endlessly Keep me filled contentedly Within this sweet community Being a light to others Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon

I love how you married the old with the new in such an intimate and organic way. This should have been POTW. Bravo Poet.

Thank you Vijay, I was just enjoying your "If I Were a Flower' poem. I am still basking in that one. I read it to my husband and he was very blessed by it as well. My husband is not a poet, but he is such a deep soul and enjoys the poetry I share with him from here. Have a blessed day and thank you so much for blessing me not only with this comment, but by your poem I just visited <3

You said it, what I always feel. Exactly my emotions as if I have written them. I can spend full day here reading poems. Much talent. Take care, Rama
