When Poetry Began

Poetry began, if I may so surmise When beauty touched the soul and fell upon the eye 'Twas then we had the notion To write from our hearts and express our deepest emotions And thus the poet was born His inner thoughts flowing from his quill His words rising like the morning sun As his muse kept growing still And when the evening came And orange skies appeared as flames The poet's quill was not yet done But rose with Luna, to set the sun

Joseph, Congratulations on your nice win. Thank you for all the time you took supporting and entering my contest this past year 2015:-) I'm taking, this time, to explain how I really enjoyed every entry. I truly wanted to place every poem, but two with high placements. However, it is a contest and with all the bickering going on about the way we judge our contest. I did not place everyone the way I wanted to in this contest. I do APOLOGIZE. Please don't be upset if you are sharing a placement or did not make the top 10. I feel every poem, should have been placed high. Stop by my latest Blog "Favorite Type of Poem" when you'd like or have time. Celebrate by sharing with us, Your Favorite type of poem. Have A Blessed Year. Love SKAT
