Michael J. Falotico Poet Free verse

"writing Without a Pen"

I lay in my bed and glance on the floor...
There are letters and thoughts that lead
to my door...
The light shines on a few as my mind may
have a thought...
Could be a small Haiku on demons I fought...
Shall it be a write on love or a past pain?
Maybe a collaboration with a lady who 
some days keeps me sane...
This is the beauty of Poetry, to spill out lives
from behind a keyboard...
To reach across the pond for a distant hug
when the notes don't meet the chords...
A wonderful place to play when a weeks worth
of ups and downs can be put on a screen...
Or how we can color our own pictures from
another poets dream...
So I continue to be dazzled from this beautiful 
group...
Who knows my next write could be with that
"Mysterious Lady of Soup"

Carolyn Devonshire November 14, 2010 at 7:51 AM So much inspiration can be found by reading the works of Soup poets, Michael. I read your recent collaboration (with Wilma I believe) and it was terrific. Could she be your "Mysterious Lady of Soup"? If so, you have quite a gem. Love, Carolyn
