The Pen and Page of a Poet

The pen and page of a poet



This is the page that takes the words,
So they are put down in their place;
Where they are seen and tone attached,
That weaves into a story to be told.
And reader will interpret as they will;
To judge the inked impression made,
All neatly ordered for the fetching mind,
Just like a great orchestral charge-
Coming in, sitting, side by side;
Awaiting the conductor of the piece,
Settling down, fine tuning, synchronising-
Palpable excitement and to the play,
Each note a word, that forms the ambiance;
Melodic enchantment, caressing the heart-
Touching, like warm raindrops,
Excitable tingly, gazillion Goosebumps;
A sensational feast of pleasant portion,
Energy to fill the soul and run-
From canter to the gallop of a starlit night,
In the giddy freedom of a childish game,
So much to see and learn and live for-
In the genius that you are

An excellent write Patrick. This is a nice dedication to all who love to write. I love the way you compare it to the orchestra fine tuning before they play. And yes, readers interpret words in different ways and see it in different lights. God Bless Phyl
