M. L. Kiser Poet Rhyme

My Hobby

I love to sketch with a pen and ink;
to feel the flow of the lines that I think;
 as they pour their way down my arm to my hand
and softly on the parchment land.

I love to sketch the shadows deep,
as from hand to pen point they creep.
The joy of all the special nibs;
My pen will use; the page to fill.

Oh how Muse does love the ride,
as down my arm and pen she slides;
her words of wisdom, gushing forth,
like rain drops spatter on my porch.

The rhythm of the curvatures;
the notes that play, they will ensure,
A lovely drawing, revealed to me
I’ll dive into its reverie.

Caren Krutsinger February 1, 2019 at 8:58 PM You are on an eye-opening "roll" and the words are flowing so fast and furiously, I am applauding and Trixie is doing cartwheels, my friend! M. L. Kiser February 1, 2019 at 9:10 PM Trixie will get a poem out of it; you watch and see...have that pen ready.

Andrea Dietrich February 1, 2019 at 6:59 PM You are super talented and I love the flow of this poem! M. L. Kiser February 1, 2019 at 8:48 PM I wish I were talented; I just know what I enjoy doing. I like the taste of an occasional new adventure thus, all of the hobbies. One drawback...not enough time in a lifetime to do everything, as I would like. But, thanks so much.

Gary Smith February 1, 2019 at 12:22 PM A lovely flowing poem M. L. M. L. Kiser February 1, 2019 at 8:46 PM Thanks Gary, I'm glad you dropped by.

Carolyn Devonshire February 1, 2019 at 5:26 AM You convey well the satisfaction that writers feel, M.L. And I like the "uncluttered" style of your free verse. Often I will keep revising and editing to reach this point where only the needed words tell the story/message. Nicely done and a great entry for the contest. Winning wishes for you, Carolyn (Hope you'll try the rispetto form for my contest as your style would work well in it.) M. L. Kiser February 1, 2019 at 8:46 PM Thanks Carolyn, I have never written a Rispetto but, I may consider that.
