Poetry

The heart is a language of feelings, the mind a language of wordy debate let my heart transgress always lead my poetic fate -- let the spaces between suggest so little as mere that, this, and such but never clearly too much – through the blessed fog of creation I will bravely be led, the language of poetry, a wild predator, always in pursuit, dangerously un-fed let my erratic emotion cause composition commotion, let me fearlessly scribe works both soothing and those irritating needing lotion let poetry be my prayer as well my devotion...so God please delay my heaven-bound hearse till I have penned, to take with me, a sh't-load of pungent verse!

Good scribe, from "great desire' Joe..Which For me is the very? Lode-seam of poetry, We, I 'describe generally here' can employ all Types of metre, rhyme schemes.? Whaterver We might" yet if its not inspired.? Its just a Plot.' Contrived by our human; mind of sin Without divinity, ' To me is a sin..' yet in lesser Or greater; of such.' Is our lot, as a crucible Of possibility's may we remain relevant' and Hot!

love your metaphorical and poetic concoction, Joe. :-) I liked 'let me fearlessly scribe words both soothing and those irritating.' How inspirational. Enjoy your evening, Sara

Thank you, Sara; I think you are like me in respects, that we can forgive imperfection, honest mistakes...but have trouble with phoniness. Blessings.
