Poet's Blessings and Laments

Poet's Blessings and Laments Ye with the many empty baskets , save a few for me Tho' word weary this pen can still shake a tree. Weave ém with diligence and your greatest care For we that need writing, will always race to be there. Hold out the bright gold and beg us to write to win author's ego may be a wordy knot but not a sin. So keep the door open , tis the least you can do for today is flowing and our words are the glue! Laugh with us as we celebrate with piss and moans our addiction, we celebrate in ego driven tones. As your doorway swings, we seek even more keys music in our writings, turbulence in our deep seas. As we build rooms to hold our rampaging words We fight to write and sometimes stampede in herds! Robert J. Lindley, 4-17-2016 Dedicated to PoetrySoup, written after reading it holds 6th place and is improving. Also to remind admin, we poets are the glue.. that holds this place together. So take your well deserved bow but keep on improving...
