Best On Writing And Wordssweet Poems
If my spirit was a color,
it would be psychedelic,
as beautiful as a rainbow ~
If my spirit were a taste,
it would be just like honey dew.
If my spirit were a feeling,
it would be as lovely as a spring day.
If my spirit were a smell,
it would be as sweet as a magnolia in bloom.
If my spirit were a sound,
it would be as harmonious as a sweet symphony
If you would receive of my joy,
I'd share it with all of you ~
Poetry is a prayer to be received
And manifested through the aide of others, but!
The real prestige occurs when
The shape and effect of our creation
Begins and lives out its iridescent life in total surrender to the reader
While the spewer of the letters
Continues to brew a pot (slow, macabre strokes),
The task indiscriminate of prayer and proof
As the work of the poet become's the prophet's last frontier:
The heart's tongue over the mind's eye...
The Word blows over the sweet and rugged land like
A neverending prayer: and endlessly abiding acknowledgment
Of God's grace over his sweet and rugged people.
Their helpless prayers singing through the trees.
Their great gladness broadening with peace,
As all words bend and beg to be a present participle.
While all the whiling
The witches in their bedrooms
Lay claim to nothing,
Floating in their chairs.
When one decides which thoughts he shall portray,
Remembering wherein his dreams abide,
Imagination through each phrase untied.
Those dancing thoughts upon a page find way.
Idle words lay sleeping one more day.
Not sound nor phrase decides its wordy stride.
Go, now thinkers on your sweet dreams glide.
Successful writing, in one’s thoughts finds play.
Unleashed are fantasies through word and rhyme.
Caressed, each thought in imagery and word.
Collisions of life’s peace and pain, now poetry.
Express thy loves and sorrows throughout time.
Sing sweet the songs where reason seems absurd.
See sunshine smile its face, my friend, on thee.
