The Meeting Place of Poets

Your opinions make me feel welcome Your inspiration keeps me going Going like the Energizer bunny Going like a train on a high speed chase Chase with a passion Chase for the sake of it It is with love and kindness you share It is the simple knowledge that you care Care for what I say Care with a dripping honesty Honesty that speaks volumes Honesty that helps me improve Improve steadily Improve gracefully Gracefully I take it all in Gracefully tasting Tasting the sweetest triumph Tasting the most bitter pill Pill that fills me Pill that becomes obsession Obsession that swallows whole Obsession over little things Things are but possessions Thing can't compare to the human thought Thought that turns into action Thought counts, but useless without motivation Motivation is hard to find, but Motivation is your specialty Specialty, sweeter that grandma's cookies Specialty to die for! For morning when my day begins For late at night to calm the stress Stress of the constant tug-a-war Stress that you my friends can relieve Relieve like ice on a hot summers day Relieve like spray to keep mosquitoes away Away on opalescent wings Away my worries fly Fly to the top I will! Fly beside me, for you seek the same place Place where jigsaw puzzles reset themselves Place where poet exchange greeting cards Cards in flowery pink and violet Cards in onix and dreary gray Gray seems bland I know, but Gray is black and white, the marriage of war and peace Peace isn't easy to find, Peace resides here I believe Believe... Find... NOTE: This poetry form actually does have a name. It's called a Blitz. However it wasn't in the list of writing forms on the Soup.

Thanks Laura! That was one of my favorite lines actually. You've always been one of my favorite poets here with your deep and darkly human writing.
