Notes About The Poem

For Sotto Poet's Pen Something To This Prompt Poetry Contest

Poets, Unite

With so much bad we see today,
poets in the world are needed.
Be not afraid; enter the fray.
With so much bad we see today,
if thoughts we pen can light the way,
as wordsmiths we’ll have succeeded.
With so much bad we see today,
poets in the world are needed.

My poet peers, lift high your light,
for mighty is the pen indeed.
A force we are when we unite.
My poet peers, lift high your light.
We’ll share our wisdom as we write.
That words have power is our creed!
My poet peers, lift high your light,
for mighty is the pen indeed.

Even as Shelley has named us: "The unacknowledged legislators of the world", we carry forward civilization then; unceasing and unwearied, because Love is both our motive and our destiny.

"If thoughts we write can pen the way" That would be too easy...and it also may be the answer. Like your way of thinking, Andrea. Nice write.

This is uplifting and encouraging Andrea, I know poetry means a lot to me, but to think that it can indeed be a powerful tool of Light in one's own hand is really a wonderful uplifting call to write Light! Very sweet poem! :) <3

A powerful triolet, dear Andrea. This exhortation is indeed inspiring. We hold a weapon more powerful than the sword or gun. Wield it for the good of the world.
