Mystic Rose Rose Poet Pantoum

Never Take a Back Seat

Engraved like stone upon the writer's sense 
a waft of inspiration flows from here to there 
like fragrant spice of myrrh and frankincense 
inside a writer's skill the savoir faire 

a waft of inspiration flows from here to there
word to verse assembled and remembered 
inside a writer's skill the savoir faire 
it can be read but never be dismembered 

word to verse assembled and remembered
the poet holds his own but shares at large 
it can be read but never be dismembered 
crafted words of what cannot disparage 

the poet holds his own but shares at large
like fragrant spice of myrrh and frankincense 
crafted words of what cannot disparage 
engraved like stone upon the writer's sense 

an active writer who writes to succeed  
will be a blessing to all those they meet 
so, take up your quill it's all that you need 
keep penning and never take a back seat

Joseph P. DiMino November 27, 2022 at 12:01 PM Very inspiring! Like breathing and heartbeats, writing is autonomic for the poet. We write even when unaware, it is how we see the world and articulate to ourselves and others. While crafting a poem may take conscious consideration, poetry is a poet's birthright. Love it! Thank you. Mystic Rose Rose November 28, 2022 at 5:06 AM Thanks, Joe, for your insightful comment, much appreciated

Victor Buhagiar November 27, 2022 at 1:30 AM I am getting too lethargic to write a pantoum these days. Wonderful poem. Mystic Rose Rose November 27, 2022 at 6:26 AM I know it wasn't easy for me to write this Victor, just testing the waters with this form, thank you for stopping by, hope your keeping well. :)

Michelle Faulkner November 26, 2022 at 11:33 AM A true ode to all of us who take up the metaphorical quill and attempt the harness of art of poetry, and a nice tie in with the seasonal myrrh and frankincense Mystic Rose Rose November 26, 2022 at 2:28 PM We should always be proud of what we write dear Michelle, thank you for sharing a comment.
