Notes About The Poem

TENDER SUBMISSION

TENDER SUBMISSION*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ink dancing on paper, a tender submission,
     finding words lost in the rhythm of silence
          longing to be read, hearts bare on the page.

Note: I originally published this poem at Poetry Soup in June, 2025, then deleted it. (poetrysoup.com › poem › tender_submission_1741032) This is my original poem.

Feels like a little glimpse into the soul. sara Etgen-Baker August 9, 2025 at 6:05 PM awww, you felt the underlying emotion of this poem...I'm most grateful. I hoped it would be a soulful read.
