Notes About The Poem

Oh Poet

Oh
poet
render me
speechless...in awe!
Leave my jaw agape
in utter amazement
in silent contemplation,
stilled by the passion of your words,
thus so inspired by your poetry...
I yearn to be one with the art of words.

A belated congrats Connie on your win with this beautiful poem. Your last line is so fantastic. I love Etherees, I've written a few, and I love yours. A great write and I can start why it placed!

Thank you Richard. Nothing quite inspires me as much as reading a beautiful poem. : )

The truth of the art; for art is only art for its truth. May that truth be fact, fiction or falsehood. What is memorable, the thing we can't reach and fully touch, but recognize as art--is always truth. Great writing, Connie! Another 7 for sure.

I enter another world through art. Through all the arts, music ballet,painting, sculpture and of course poetry and prose. There is so much to be learned by studying art and it goes hand-in-hand with history. Thank you for your visit Joe. Your words always inspire me. : )

Wow, this is amazing, Connie! You did a great job describing the effects of poetic words on people who read them....7!

August 1, 2016 at 10:13 PM

Oh, my gosh, I just noticed that I liked this poem just as much a little while back and shared very similar reactions. I'm a bit embarrassed, but just a bit. I may have no memory what so ever, but I am consistent. Golly gee - silly me ... CayCay

Oh, I have not seen this before and simply love what you have written about how I feel, how did you know? You have captured that which I have not been able to, not in such a succinct, effective and truly poetical manner as you did. I want to embroider the words and hang them up. You have completely sated my need for a poetry fix tonight, I can sleep now ... CayCay

I do not know quite what it is...And I have to confess that I am rather at a loss to put it into words...But there is something completely impalpable about this poem...I just cannot explain it - How very peculiar! It really is quite astounding, Connie - "Oh poet" indeed! Very, very well done - Quite brilliant! My very best regards, Connie...As always of course. :) john

Thank you very much Robert. I fell in love with this form that for some reason certain people find a bit difficult. A mystery to me. It is like having a casual conversation filled with meaning. Cheers, Connie : )

Thank you very much Daver. I must post this at PFT...haven't had the time. I cleaned half my refrigerator before heading to my computer to catch up on poetry. The other half will have to wait as this is my only day off. Haha. I hope you enjoyed your birthday my friend. Blessings, Connie

July 28, 2016 at 12:19 PM

Connie, I have been working so I apologize for being away. Your poem is taking me to a place I have missed. I had to, in effect write a term paper for work. That is all I can say really. You are beautiful!
