poetry

To poets near and far

the images you paint

with words and feelings

my reason taint

minds strive to think

hearts to moan

on cold nights

we shiver alone

the words you’ve penned

o’er centuries

palpate my heart

bring to my knees

soar high the earth

plunge in the deep

and with ink drops

a promise keep

*

“cheers to you poets

young, dead and old

to words you cherish

and those you’ve told

true to your task

forge on wordsmith

this of you I ask

and with your pen forever dip”

*

 



There are so many who have inspired: Edgar Allen Poe, Sylvia Plath, Tagore, Charles Martin, Pen of the Damned, Poets United, One Stop Poetry, Carpe Diem and oh so many more…


Regale the DAY!!!


Poet’s Day

Our voices echo, magnifying your arrival


In a drafty museum, your nakedness


Shadows our safety.


We stand round blankly as  walls


~Sylvia Plath


(Stanza from “Morning Song”)

The Poet Speaks… #poetry
				

			 by moondustwriter, posted in Uncategorized		
			

	

		
There is a poet


who I’d tip my hat


but we live in this era


so that is that


***


where all we swallow


is political fire


his daily words


they do inspire


**


He paints and draws


his readers in


a subtle point


that speaks within


**


Don’t ever miss


the meaning penned


nothing poison


lies within


***


for poets have


a way you know


to touch the heart


and make it grow


 


I have a few friends who have profoundly influenced my writing. Charles Martin is such a man whose words speak volumes to those willing to listen. Thanks to the bold voice of poets today!

	

		
	



	
	

		
The Edge of Sanity (A Poem)
				

			 by moondustwriter, posted in Poetry		
			

	

		


A white


searing light


is all that remains


of reason


***


Cling tight


to the edge


a mere breadth


of sanity


***


Perilously close


to the end of a mind


where raptor


swoop for the kill


***


The string is taut


that holds the key


will he


or won’t he


B


R


E


A


K….


Do you ever read a word or a line and get inspired to write a piece?? I do. This piece was like a flash based on a line in my friend SLPMartin’s latest poem “Suburbia”


Thanks to Brenda Starr for the Key
