My Special Poet Poetry Contest

Note: n/a

This poem is not about any particular poet "all are special". No matter if I don't place. I had chosen a poet once for a contest, It didn't feel right afterwards, too many I like as well.

 

Ambition in its prime dwells within over time —poet My special poet… is one who gets their point across without agendas or alliterations of a bitter boss No need for perfect literates who sip on bitters and pound out heartless ink to other bulls*itters A black heart smells rotted and oldened by experience with ordinary nothingness to relay for instance Webbed tough with matured matted material used over again, makes not a special poet’s verses imperial My special poet… does not grope for interpretation of what’s in the soul Or use blackened words of mystery that serve to cajole Or spits floundering anxiety pending Nor is in one’s own tight confining skin Nor a swollen head enabled by encouragement, rigid and giving nothing back Nor do they look askance from their egocentric self, Outspoken words that hurt, sensitivity they lack My special poet… is one who gets the truth out reporting issues of division and about undecided poets who need to explore not to shun away from what dangers implore Expresses what’s needed to say words you trust along the way, to make what’s important aware for those with no voice and in despair We’re all a part of it, the crime and border God is good, He wants you to know justice’s order My special poet… a girly-girl of a soft disposition natured still rides along within, now matured I have too much respect for poets to call out bitter versed ones, we know it’s not going to change anything or anyone We are who we are bar none Understanding the universe that comes first Time is of the essence not disparaging the worst When making a split discission when it’s obvious surrealism, there is no more discussing what is special, sincere, sealed woe IT'S me My special poet… is not better just unique It's not a prowess poet that I seek It’s nice when real poet's genius peak Cannot hit the ball out of the park every time Yet it all maybe rendered sublime We cannot alter our voices This covers all poets of our choices You’ll find poets who well articulate though meanings may particulate Every poet is special to somebody and have one thing in common including ME

"My special poet… is not better just unique It's not a prowess poet that I seek It’s nice when real poet's genius peak Cannot hit the ball out of the park every time Yet it all maybe rendered sublime" Dear Anaya, I just enjoyed your contemplations on a special poet. So very right.... we cannot simply single out one as special. There are so many special in unique ways. Your judgement has come from a mature heart. A poet who can articulate his / her thoughts in lucid, beautiful language and can give a moment's pleasure is indeed a gifted poet. I am in awe of this poem. There is so much of wisdom and maturity in your lines. A FAVE for me.

Dear Anaya, How wonderful and heart touching your words are as they advocate for someone who is authentic, truthful, and empathetic. Yes, a call for a genuine expression over complex literary devices should serve a purpose beyond personal gratification. I just love how you acknowledge that we have a diverse group full of passion. I read this several times because of the amount of wisdom your inked. Good luck on the contest and I believe you have a winner! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

You're a special poet, an existentialist marvel with a therapist’s introspection, a sagacious narrator. Whether speaking of innermost conflicts both personal, spiritual and universal or love of family tributes. TY, Daniel for your helpful observations and heart-rending poetry we enjoy! xo

You are one special poet that deserves nothing but admiration for speaking the truth for standing up for the oppressed for writing sincerely. Youv described yourself very well here too in my eyes all that you’ve mentioned is seen from your pen and ink. Keep shining! Sending you light always

You are special indeed, with such poetry as "Death" The death lurks by my side, Every day I struggle to own my piece of the world and unfurling Rami—Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation. TY Jay!

TY, Duke I'm glad to have made a very special poet smile, you make us laugh with your amazing limericks and images. The contest was an opportunity to be simultaneously subtle & direct lol. It's a little of this & that I hear around, just giving back. xo
Date: 8/3/2024 9:22:00 AM
Well it takes a special poet in the first place, to pen such a deep meaningful poem Anaya, you nailed this one, by not mentioning anyone in particular, including all instead. Your poem speaks for itself and doesn’t need interpretation, but deserves plenty of praise, comments, and a Fave from me, cheers David

A fave from you David is special. TY! Comments help to understand one another. Here I rolled up my sleeves and threw down raw based roll-in-the-mud content, giving back to the community as a good & aware citi-zen. xo

You are the special poet you described in the latter verses. You write eloquently and never fail to be relevant in your emotional and germane verse. Never fail to intrigue and give one pause. Keep on with your spot on offerings and never stop expressing your political outlook. Your besti, Robert
