Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

This, My Ink's Desire

Yes…feel me, temper my insanity, 
hold my fleshed  passion as I connect
with an audience to share how a night
devours monsters at the seams.
And yet, this refrain loses as the final poll
excludes my name. Why so? My lenses 
run up and down the fourth time; my breath
skips : but the multitude of acclaim
from my readers inhabit my soul,
allowing me to shower my ink 
with deeper hues as my inner congas 
beat for another round of adventure;
this time more assured that by nourishing
my own desire to regard the heart's compass
first and foremost is what matters..

as always.

Tim Ryerson December 31, 2014 at 8:56 PM Oh by the way, this will be the first time I ever rated a poem (I never noticed that little box up there) Why doesn't it go up to 10? I would have given it a 9.5 at least...No 10 because nobody's perfect except me (Yeah, RIGHT) Tim Ryerson December 31, 2014 at 9:00 PM And why doesn't it show that I gave it a 7? This is an outrage...

M. L. Kiser December 31, 2014 at 3:48 PM Beautiful, I especially love: "but the multitude of acclaim from my readers inhabit my soul, allowing me to shower my ink with deeper hues as my inner congas beat for another round of adventure;"

Carol Eastman December 31, 2014 at 11:15 AM Beautifully written... With writting... the ultimate need is to share what's in your heart... With others... and for them to listen... Happy New year from the Eastman's and that poor misunderstood Dragon, too, of course.

Gary Bateman December 30, 2014 at 3:13 PM Nette, Very well-done here indeed. I like the metaphor of "My Ink's Desire." (Reminiscent of "Spill Ink," which I like to use at times in correspondence and messages!!) Great imagery throughout the poem!! I wish all the best for you in Jerry's contest. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!! A "7" too from me. Happy New Year, Gary

Charmaine Chircop December 30, 2014 at 3:12 PM Let your heart's compass lead your golden weaved alphabets vowels and consonants to us dear. Have a blessed New year: )

Carly Lalion December 30, 2014 at 3:12 PM Touched by this grand poem which transcends contest wins and maybe the number of reply hits.For what matters is that you allow a big space for personal expression and embrace it! Nette, thank you for inspiring me. Happy New Year!

Banjo Casto December 30, 2014 at 3:07 PM The need to express the self through a heartfelt, personal way is indelibly marked on this brilliant poem. Nette, always remember you are a force to reckon with; you are a unique poet!

Anne-Lise Andresen December 30, 2014 at 3:06 PM - Sound of your words singing in your beautiful poems, dear Nette - Luck in contest ! - Happy New Year !!! - oxox // Anne-Lise :)
