As poets we can beguile With wily words We can entrance with Verbs that dance We can astound with Proper nouns We can relive With adjectives We can fragment When we vent It's easy to function With conjunctions The proper preposition Can help our position
Topics are the meat of Our poems we like to eat Love with lustful innuendo Is a favorite on the menu Others prefer gothic mood Pleasing if you like to brood From demons in the dark abyss To angels of light, and heavens kiss Whether it be overt or obscure With poets it's always an adventure
the real adventure is in writing a poem so that all can join along on its poetic journey ... i felt i was on a safari in this poem ... very nice thoughts!

OMG.. I just use words that sound good to me.. From the word verb onwards you lost this boy...
How hard, oh hard desperately hard those words are to come by sometimes. But we never give up. Loved this Sis. Eileen!
blessin's (and by the way, the character in my "Exhibitions" story has nothing to do with you. . . the name Eileen just came to me. Wanted to set the record straight on that since you are NOTHING like that crazy money-grubbing midlife golddigger in the story sequence.)
Words are powerful indeed. And I must say, the most wonderful times I've ever had has been while reading someones literary adventure. Thank you Eileen for sharing your words with us.
The firey artwork illustrates your lush words so well, Eileen! Writing can become both a fuelling and intoxicating drug and a blessed release; we can immerse and lose ourselves or we can find ourselves. We can build up and tear down, as the Bible so aptly says. We can fantasise or be totally and nakedly real. Such a wonderland coupled with an awesome responsibility of duty and care, it seems to me. But ADVENTURE it certainly is, and you are always a premier frontiersman cutting the trail ahead of the rest of us in terms of the vast amounts of ground you cover and explore. Just wish I could lose myself there in Tahiti for a bit..!! Yes, Christmas-phobia is settin in already... :)) TY LOL Kate xx
You got that right. And what an adventure this poetry road has taken me on...I wouldn't trade it for the world! Awesome, awesome write, from a master wordsmith. :)
(((HUGS))), love and Merry Christmas, Karla.

Ahhh the clever workings of a poetic mind...onto which path will they wonder today? Sometimes it is simply a word heard that kicks the write into the moment. I admire those who keep pen and paper handy all the time so that when the muse speaks they can take heed. Me, I just allow it to amuse me then forget it when I try to put it onto a page...sighs...when will I ever become a serious writer?
Take care,
Sherry
Its an addictive adventure you wouldnt want to miss...
With the power of words we create...and recreate our lives and world...that awesome power must be centered and focussed on bringing light and goodness into the hearts and souls of as many people we can reach or touch... now and in the future.
You are one of the foremost poets Eileen in broadcasting enlightenment through your favored pen.
Love
Peter
