Richard Lamoureux Poet I do not know?

Word Play

My chance to play, words written down
Here the page waits, beckoning me
I will breathe in, with hopeful lungs
Filling my heart, with new found joy
Words written down, beckoning me

Strung together, from where who knows
Rising on notes, yet to be sung
I hear whispers, calling to me
So I inhale, they fill me up
Beckoning me, with hopeful lungs

New worlds are formed, images flow
I watch amazed, they seem so real
A little piece, of inner me
Laid on a page, in inked candor
With new found joy, my chance to play

I am experimenting with Eileen's new form.
I have written it without rhyme. I hope I got
the flow right.

Heather Secrest March 6, 2014 at 11:27 AM Words written down have a great power. The written word can be shared with many, and through its power they too can feel your emotions. This is a wonderful expression of freedom. Great write!!! Heather Secrest March 6, 2014 at 7:11 PM Thank you for asking! I've been doing well. My classes have been keeping me super busy. I just recently got a smartphone and now I can have poetry soup to go!! I've redescovered why I loved this place to begin with. Richard Lamoureux March 6, 2014 at 2:22 PM Thanks Heather, you haven't been around the soup much. So nice to have you back. How have you been?

Monterey Sirak March 2, 2014 at 6:33 AM I love it! There is something wonderful in seeing your thoughts become concrete when your pen scratches across the paper. I even love the scribbles and scratch-outs. Can't get that feeling on a computer keyboard. Richard Lamoureux March 2, 2014 at 9:08 AM Mind you there is only one person like you, after all you do march to the beat of your own Acordian. I love that about you. Richard Lamoureux March 2, 2014 at 9:06 AM I write everything directly to the screen as it comes out of my head. I then go back and edit it. All the poems I have posted here I have written since joining in 2012. This site has been a great source of inspiration and education. The best part has been coming into contact with friends and artists like you.

John Beam February 23, 2014 at 1:38 PM very nice write Richard, I enjoyed very much, thanks for sharing Richard Lamoureux February 23, 2014 at 5:58 PM My pleasure John, thanks for the kind comment.

Tim B February 23, 2014 at 11:46 AM The freedom exhibited here on the page is timeless, a brilliant write. Thanks for sharing. Richard Lamoureux February 23, 2014 at 5:59 PM Thanks Tim.

Eileen Manassian February 23, 2014 at 10:35 AM OH WOW! I'm SO SO honored by this!!!! :) I'm giddy! Thanks, Richard for giving it a go....You've made it even more intricate than I intended. I just thought...mono-rhyme. Makes the work easier. The repetition of lines goes like this: First stanza....Repeat ending of line one and two of that stanza....Second stanza...Repeating ending of like 2 and 3 of stanza two....Third stanza...repeat ending of line four and go back to the ending of line one of stanza three. You've done it a bit differently.. Eileen Manassian February 23, 2014 at 10:51 AM I don't know what to say Richard Lamoureux February 23, 2014 at 10:49 AM My dear I do not wish to steal your thunder. Your star is brilliant enough to stand on it's own. I am happy to play at the edge of your inspiration. Eileen Manassian February 23, 2014 at 10:37 AM Shall we give this a new name? ;) I must admit...it won't sound as flashy as shadowlam! :) I hope my explanation was clear....your thoughts on this are wonderful, Richard. Honestly...I'm so touched you'd want to try it out. Thanks!!! :)
