Notes About The Poem

Poetic Inhalation

“I should submit it to the Smithsonian Institute it seems” 
“ Be careful this could all be in your dreams”  By the poet to the poet.


Euphoric stimulation rushing through my mind, 
When I read a poem which was quite a find.

It dazzled my mind, I felt the poem’s vibration,
Did this genius come from some Divine inspiration?

Compelled my heart to flutter, breathing quickens. 
Who wrote this, could it have been Dickens ?

Remembering, it was I that these words did utter.
Breathing quickens, compelled my heart to flutter.

Am I experiencing poetic inhalation, is this a holy grail?
Gasping for breath with untold fiasco, an effort to exhale.

Christina Bowring March 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM How did I miss this dear one - I hang my head in shame. Just read the comments and then went searching for the contest to find …. my dearest pal no 1 !! I’m so sorry but as they say, better late than never … so here I am with even bigger hugs of congratulations ( still feeling guilty) This is such a wonderful poem that so deserves top spot. You have captured the theme so well- the reader gets pulled into the exhilaration of the poet. I think we have all at some time felt this adrenaline that Christina Bowring March 22, 2024 at 9:06 AM rushes over you when you almost forget to let out the breath that’s been held in. Amazing! I loved it and I also love the quote as well. So proud of you xx
