Poetry Inspires Me
Pressed from the tender fruit of my fecund heart.
Over fragile paper, pen in hand, my mind darts.
Entering verses of love, new visions start,
Tomorrows rays of hope creative art.
Rendering of a souls poetic chart,
Yearnings that my meandering thoughts, of this world be part.
Inspiration in all things, I find.
Near, and as far as the stars, they bind
Senses, always alert, and refined;
Promising secrets to be revealed to the mind.
Interpretations, this hand designed,
Rhetoric that I share with mankind.
Essence of my being to all remind,
Sweet verses that surpass all time.
My simple thoughts I share with you this day,
Ever grateful if you look this way.
I thought this poem had and excellent rhythm and word flow, but I think you had far too many rhymes for my taste.
Robert Davidson.
Thanks Robert, and Deler for your comments.
Hi Angelique,
I was inspired by this poem. It is very visual.
I can understand Robert's comment about the rhyming. In truth, it doesn't need it. The poetic atmosphere alone is excellent - spot on - and made me want to grab a piece of paper and a pen.
I too love rhyming and sometimes it works to use it a lot (for me, anyway), but it also seems to interfer in a way with what I want to say - because it needs to be accomodated.
You have a beautiful way of seeing things and that's much more powerful than any rhyme.
Not that I'm any expert - I just think the rhyming puts too many fullstops in the flow of things - (well something like that)
blimey, I'm useless when it comes to saying what I mean.
If you take away the restriction of rhyme, your writing has a quality that makes me think of artistic visuals such as an oil painting.
Do you paint?
Please write more.
best, Endy
Yes Endy I paint. And I write a lot. I will post more. I also posted some sensual poems in spanish.
Thanks,

I did look at the Spanish poems. They sound good in my head, but as I don't read or speak Spanish - I found them a little frustrating.
Do you want me to translate for you? It will have to be by em.
Yes please, (if its not too much bother) Angelique.
I'd really like to read them.
