I’ve long believed that
Beauty is one part simplicity
And one part elegance
Wrapped in a portrait of life.
Whether we are observing
Nature art or music
The author blends colors sounds and words
In a symbiosis of visual
And aural delights.
But I’ve learned that if you
Add a pinch of charm
And a dash of wit
Toss in a little mischief
Then you have a living thing
A collage of culture choir
And curiosity.
Oh the poet wears many masks
And tries to cover intentions
In metaphorical discord
But under it all are two incessant
Human drives –
One is be noticed and the
Other is to be loved.
I think one of the human drives for some of us is just to share a love of poetry with like minds. Maybe that is being noticed and being loved. But really, I have thoroughly enjoyed, for the first time in my life, having contact with other people who have this drive to put things in words.
