Notes About The Poem

When Poets Come Together As One

Lets flatten the curve with our words and soften our quill. We are world siblings, showing solidarity through will. Words that heal are like a prayer in times of sorrow. They can pronounce our stories, comfort and burrow. No time for silent pens, it's a time to rise and write. In adversity, poetry stands tall like a gallant knight. Poetic fingers express emotions through flowing ink, forming rhymes and verses which influence minds to think. Disunity is a plague, which feasts upon heinous hearts. Unity paints a peaceful masterpiece of fine arts.

Poems like this can do more to heal with less side effects than drugs or alcohol. Poetry is a reminder to us of all that is noble in us. The reward is in the feedback the poet gets from how a particular poem has changed a life for the better. Poems can take both poet and reader out of some pretty dark places. The only danger is a diet of one type of poem or just one poet. Your collaboration with Pixie Dust illustrates my main points. Noble thoughts lead to noble actions from unmotivated people.

Hello Silent One!! A wondrously conceived poem here by you and Pixie Dust. Yes, indeed -- "Unity" is so very important as reflected here -- a pure reflection of the "fine arts." Best Wishes Always, Gary

I most like " it's time to rise and write" Positivity is the key to life in general for me and I never tire of it's messaging, Silent One. With your usual flair, this one is imbued with grace! Happy Tuesday!

Beautifully written and presented. Silent One and Pixie Dust. The pen is mighty than the sword. True, as each word can either heal or hurt. I know, as I have experienced this. A community of poets will either form a bond and stand together, or they crucify some and separate. You cannot stand strong, if you are always pulling the walls apart. Congratulations to the both of you, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy
