The Power of Rhythms and Rhymes

The Power of Rhythms and Rhymes

The power of one single voice.  Words, like tender warriors, sent into tornadoes of chaos – healing – restoring.  Revealed by inspiration.  Renewing radiance.  Highlighting love.  Exposing dark underbellies.  Racing to stars.  Nature’s voice soaring.  “Pretty, hell, poetry is life!”  Wisdom’s legacy.

marrow of the core
 breaths in rhythms and in rhymes  ~ 
  words sailing on wings.

Gershon Wolf June 17, 2020 at 7:52 PM All that preparation behind-the-scenes, so to speak, to make it look effortless as the 'words sail on wing.' Great re-educational poem for me, and lovely penned too! Cheers, Gershon Sam Kauffman June 18, 2020 at 2:15 PM Hi Gershon! Only a poet, like yourself, would recognize the process (blood, sweat and tears) we put into each write - the small bits of ourselves in each poem. I am so glad this has refreshed and renewed your delightful, thoughtful and whimsical muse. Blessings dear friend.
