He bleeds words all over the universe
like rain, each one becomes an addiction
to our brain, we are content to feed on
his vital lines,which we save as classics
but when he stops we become like jittery
junkies needing a fix

How have we come to this,it's not the poets
fault,yet we blame him for having created
this need in us, but what about his need?
without us his words die on the page,until
we read them to life,thereby creating the
poet writer- readers, marriage, which is a
habitual partnership with equal necessity

great piece Eileen, I try to read as much as I can, my problem is I have too much to say, it comes out in the form of verse, I can't quit writing, things come to me and I write them if they're not too mean. I write a lot about love, I was with my dysfunctional family this weekend and the love I write about saved me from going the other way with some of my foolish family members, and some of them had the nerve to drink alcohol, can't give Indians fire water, hugs

A needy relationship, but a beautiful one...I could feast on your words all day long. They always give me something to think deeply about.

I must say Eileen This and outstanding piece
True we must feed upon each others praises, comments
and reviews, we must respect each other work
And now I must get up on my feet and do my share,
for I have slacked down a wee.
Love & peace

i sure enjoyed this! And these relationships are what truly make writing have value
Reviewed by Kate Burnside 5/18/2008
Funny, last night I listened to the archive recording of Billy Collins reciting "You, Reader", which speaks into exactly this situation, Eileen. Indeed, I wholeheartedly agree: the poetic process goes on indefinitely... from the moment it leaves the author's mind and pen, whenever it is read, spoken or thought about by the minds that interact with it, it lives and grows. Love this way of thinking. Mutual and organic. A symbiosis. Bless you. Kate xx

Hope you are not writing about me. ;-) But then again, I do. Sounds like something someone would say in a marriage ceremony.

My vacation broke my usual weekly offering. And then last week, my poem wouldn't post until Monday. This week is about the universe -- strange coincidence.

Such an empathy you exhibit here. Poetry, in all of its colorful enigma, is fast becoming a moot point, though, in this changing world. But, still, there is an undeniable connection that happens between two souls when they read each other and connect. OIftentimes its better to read a soul than to experience it face to face.
Blessings ...

The poet writer- reader, marriage - usually, a very good one, indeed.

And I love that pic.

I agree, E.T.; the beauty of the poem, which the poets try to write, is truly in the eye of the beholder, the reader. Words take on different interpretations by each reader, and they (words) become realities...
I behold beauty in your words, dear friend!!

And may this always be true! So mutually fulfilling. Sometimes I think that the real poets are the readers, for it is their muse who sings our words (probably better than we do). I love this one.
