The Insightful Poem Delights Me

Oh! I gasp
shocked 
so lovely
words sprinkle from the page
like gentle rain drops
falling on my ready imagination

No! I scream
startled but glad
this insightful poet has 
given me something 
funny to laugh about all day

Yes! I say
recognizing romanticism
when I see it, loving the imagery,
reveling in the metaphors
recognizing genius

What? I yell
staring at another beautiful
shape poem that only the best
of the best can do as they take
patience and I have none of that myself.

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this. I'm delighted with your last stanza, especially the lines: "staring at another beautiful shape poem that only the best of the best can do as they take patience and I have none of that myself." God bless you.
