On Fairy Wings

I sent my wish on fairy wings
revealing how my soul did sing,
found inspiration in everything;
each day and night, those bells would ring.

I did not know just what to do;
I reached such heights, my spirit flew ~
I shared my best, then I withdrew.
Now, here I stand, starting anew…

The years have passed, my ink has dried;
the words won’t come, my tongue is tied;
I want to play but ought to hide.
I wonder, should I take this ride?

My hope is you will come to see
a poet breathes inside of me.
I seldom write, 
but sailed the sea…
it's there where I found poetry.

Gershon Wolf Date: 9/16/2019 9:39:00 PM A sweet, light-as-a-feather write, my friend. Should do well in the contest, methinks. :) gw Login to Reply Hello There Date: 9/16/2019 10:34:00 PM Thank you kindly, Gershon :)

Richard Lamoureux Date: 9/14/2019 9:11:00 AM I agree with Chris. ;0) I expect this will do well in the contest. Login to Reply Hello There Date: 9/14/2019 1:12:00 PM Thank you so much, Rick. It means a lot hearing this from each of you <3

Chris Green Date: 9/13/2019 7:21:00 AM "the words won't come" ? I think they have and this is fantastic. The flow and rhythm of this piece is smooth and easy to read and the rhymes spot on. I saw this contest last night and started one of my own for a different opening line, but this one did intrigue me as has your poem. This felt light and airy though still holds a bit of tension it seems. You my friend are very talented and should not hold back from writing. That would be our loss if you did. Best wishes in the contest. Login to Reply Hello There Date: 9/13/2019 11:05:00 AM You, my friend, are much too kind. Thank you, though, for your acceptance and encouragement <3
