Notes About The Poem

Voice of Poetry

Adorable, enticing as beauteous glance,
Engaging, evocative as a ballet dance
Luring passions flaunting moody stance;
Poetry is music strumming from heart,
Lyrics of life emblazoned in poetic art.

It’s a smile of Venus on moonless night,
Ruby rose abloom midst wintry plight;
Verses of harmony embossed in rhyme
Of wisdom, witty words, eternal as time,
Expressions of mind streaming sublime.

Poetry is nourishment to vacuous soul,
Meaningful words inner voices extoll,
Metaphors, simile, elusive moods cajole;
Musings inimitable~ we cannot clone,
Neither can we cage, nor can we own.

Endearing, amiable~ it’s ballad of love,
Pure, passionate, as cooing of a dove;
A lighthouse guiding ships through dark,
On vacant thoughts, enlightened spark,
Charming dismal morn, a song of lark.

This is so deeply meaningful and i think many can resonate too with your words woven with such captivatinv rhymes in cadence. Poetry, is nourishment, i agree, and i love so many lines in this especially “ It’s a smile of Venus on moonless night, Ruby rose abloom midst wintry plight; Verses of harmony embossed in rhyme Of wisdom, witty words, eternal as time,” so profound with brilliant word choices and alliterations and depth to the way youv expressed! A fave it is for me! I love your poems
