and post notes and photos about your poem like Emile Pinet.
I'll not be defined by my mastery of words
inked in cerebral colors of abstract thoughts.
Yet, there's a complexity concealed within me.
My totality runs surprisingly deep.
You must meticulously disassemble and examine
all my puzzling parts, to understand me.
I'm a dreamer, awake in a dream called life,
and a self-doubter, for I know I'm not always right.
But I love to fledge my poetic thoughts,
feathering their wings with witty words.
My heart reveals hidden hurts buried deep
to appease my conscience and oblige reality!
And compassion underlies my every breath,
weighing life's wrongs on the scales of injustice.
But, frustration has not yet emptied me of hope,
draining dreams tear by tear, year after year.
But if I am to be defined by anything...
Let it be by the gift fate has bequeathed my muse
and the positive Karma my poems have generated,
illuminating my pathway to now.
