The Poet

subtle is the way she muses tonight
quietly, she pen's just for your delight
in tune with herself, her muses transpose
to boost your world with a sparkle of light 

the art within has much more to propose
the language defined with creative prose
in metaphoric rhyme she soothes the soul
traversing the space keeping you exposed

by the river or the watering hole
her delicate meanings are scribed two fold
alone and unforgiving to compile 
imbuing a richness to make you whole 

amidst the truthfulness of her freestyle 
her mind encapsulates  the  juvenile
her playful nature is always in tact
where expression exposes the lifestyle

she writes for amusement, yours, to distract 
the greatest gift is her solemn impact 
interpreting through kaleidoscope eyes
sharing her thoughts, inner concepts abstract 

her poetry cannot hold on to lies
her reality worded to surmise 
a brief representation of her life
she cannot hide, defile or compromise 

through time she has seen humanities rife 
yet she is always in the midst of strife 
come forth dear memories my canvas waits
pen's the memories exacting her knife

the tools she's been given only  illustrates
 the world she defines as she annotates
the place of her mind is protected - as
corroboration recapitulates

and on a warm balmy evening of jazz
her smile encompasses her pizazz
writing to express her passion in form 
living and breathing her art, for she has.

'The greatest gift is her solemn impact.' I can't believe how easy you made this form look. I'm not a fan of jazz, but I have to admit, you reek of pizzazz! What a productive night you've had. Outstanding ruba...

In writing this, I realised, I actually naturally write in 9 syllables. Fitting inn a 10th was easy.

Somewhere in the midst of reading this poem it became an illustration to me, no more of a painting. I saw lines and shapes forming, then as colors appeared a definition of the subject was revealed. This was artistically beautiful and poetically cool. I really enjoyed this.
