Poets Poem

Dear Poets, 

 

Yes you, Emily Dickinson, your poetry taught me 

about beauty and grace. You see things for what 

they are and should be. As for me, it serves as 

a reminder of self and what's beyond thyself. You  

have taught me to grow and learn. Oh... and Edgar Alan  

Poe. You speak to me from the darkness, and unknowing 

places people rarely visit. You taught me to look,  

and listen beyond all reason. You inspire me to 

look beyond reality and push my imagination. Both 

of you are some of the reason I am the writer I choose, 

and want to be. Without your words and visions there 

to inspire, the world would be a little bland by 

comparison. Thank you for your penned works of art,  

they make the writers circle a little brighter. 

 

Forever Enchanted, 

JT Nyx

Thank you for entering my contest. This is wonderful and brings to light the reason for your inspiration. Love the contrasts between 'beauty and grace' and 'darkness and unknowing places'.
