Joe Maverick Poet Verse

Weighting On Words

How moved was ‘I’ with true inspiration
As you gave it to me straight
Understanding turned in me, 
I ‘felt’ despite my numbed fingers
Or my straightened circumstances
As your re-cordings un-bound me.
Heightened, shortened, lightened
Perhaps I should put they re-moved me?
They did indeed though ‘no-one saw’.
As I was moved for the second time
On the next reading.
Sharp as any blade an impression was made
Yet I, un-squashed as it were
Jubilant at the expressive power
Now filled with desire, no……
Swollen with new feeling, ideas, perhaps?
Now new whole volumes I will sire
Or just a few lines.?
But not too tangly.!

The above write is just about the way we use words and
the effect poetry can have on anyone; its not about a specific
person..I have had trouble putting
 this where it should go so had to put it here!

Carrie Richards July 2, 2013 at 8:51 AM Your postscript says you had trouble putting it where it belongs..........but here at least we can find it, and you put the words to good use! So true...what we find in another's words, and how it can change our way of thinking! Well said!

Daver Austin March 20, 2013 at 8:51 AM Communication. I believe we actually communicate with few entities. When we do strike a chord with someone, this is terrifically inspirational. You nailed it, Joe. Love, daver

Andrea Dietrich March 20, 2013 at 12:47 AM Well, how cool this one is, Joe. It is always great for me when I see you put up a new poem. It means I have something of yours to comment on! Yes, I was able to get what you were saying, about the way we use words in poetry. About your note to me on "adding extra info" I am not sure what difficulty you are having. could it be your computer? Everything seems ok for ME over here when I post.

Poet Destroyer A March 18, 2013 at 7:41 PM Joe, your poem is expressive enough... very different and creative in a way... by the way how are you?? I've been busy with my daughter who is ready to have her baby next month... hope you are well! . Enjoyed stopping by to read your poem. Always* LINDA
