I require no more blithe assertions, no more mindless ministrations to assuage my pain. I have little patience for provincial poetry and care not for proclamations penned precise, politically correct. I tire of sloppy verse that skips and skims the surface.
Give me something more…
Give me poetry that skins an idea. Come, poet-muse, bite clean into my heart until the mysterious taste of my forgotten life drips succulent from lips parted but parched by shriveled language and those reckless wielders of wanton words.
Give me something more…
Call forth tears that would well up in me to water this world. Your poems, so like a spigot that releases what is yet untapped within me. Come now, let your words be always growing. Though never fully formed within me, they are becoming, and I am becoming,
"Give me poetry that skins an idea."
A most worthy request, Dawn. I find the whole poem quite inspiring and meaningful indeed. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and peace to you.
Powerful and clear, this poem rings into my soul. I often think that poetry skims the surface and stories pack with detail. Poetry is more subjective, which makes it great for the reader, but as a writer, so many times, I wish that I had penned a much meatier offering that bled my soul onto the page. Excellent write!!!
Take care,
Sherry

Dawn, I believe we all want “something more!” In one’s attempt to bridge the gap of inequity, we tend to trip over everything in our way instead of marching directly through it. This is an outstanding creation, my friend. The usage of the repetitive phrase “something more,” compels one to “feel” the raw power in this timeless treasure. Thank you for sharing it. Take good care and be well.

Holy smoly Dawn! You just made me break out in a fever of wanting to write uncensored stupendous meaningful masterful words, but darn it you did it first! ;-) This is fabulous, and I mean it in every sense of the word. Wish I wrote it;-)!!!
Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help.

Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,

You have a lovely talent for subtle blasting of words which become a peaen to the beauty of themselves.
This poem, of extraordinary design, is a masterpiece of perception of the true meaning of poetry, illumination.
You are 'Something More'.
