My Special Poet

My special poet, has the recipe written down. Ink and words will flow, flow like fast moving lava. Whether a Rhyme or Limerick, maybe a free verse or a short Haiku.
My special poet knows the recipe, it is all about the feelings of the words. Words have power for the reader, both bad or good power to share.
My special poet has learned, from writing and rewriting what to do. The recipe is to write for the reader, for their enjoyment.
My special poet now turns out, great poems. Some short and some long, their readers always come back to read more.

You chose a really great way to do this by not naming the poet. I was afraid to name someone so I didn't even try this one. Love what you did.

Dear Paula, I love your special poet poem and the fact that you haven’t named one particular poet. We have to consider the feelings of those who never get a mention, and you did that in your own unique poetic way… Beryl

I think you strike the balance just right here Paula, by not actually naming an individual, and going for the collective instead, of course we all have penchants for certain poets and poems, and can always do a personal tribute if we feel the need, I enjoyed this committed yet noncommittal piece, cheers David

If he's your special poet, I am certain that he is special. "My special poet knows the recipe, it is all about the feelings of the words." True! Love that. You get a Fav! Well deserving.
