The Poet

people
real live people
flesh and blood
sparked with creative juices and 
breath

poetry
draws us in
united as brothers 
to tease meaning and maybes
titillation

poets
one and all
carrying the stylus
set in ancient tongues of
camaraderie

reading
words on page
thoughts in mind
all our own exalted bards
Scribe

in 
london

  5. Wow. You are quite the student of poetry. I am dumb as a rock when it comes to that. I just write.

  6. @Brian: I just attended. I could have shared a poem, but they only shared 2 poems in the workshop from members & 2 from the poets who were reading that night. Kind of glad, as the poets who shared their poems in our intimate workshop then went in front of the much larger group and read their poems to all. Not ready for that yet! Maybe next time! :)

  8. @Margaret: London, Ontario that is. Sadly, a little more rare in these parts. It was lovely though!

    @Monkey Man: What! Lies, my friend. Thank goodness I have been to a poetry circle or two online to be able to sound like I halfway know what I am talking about though. Some of the poems were a little cryptic. Well, maybe a lot! But it was novel to discuss poetry in person & I just might go back. :)

  13. I'd like to think a big slice of enjoying poetry is in the appreciation of the craft. Great form for a lovely poetry of yours. I'd like to invite you to My Journey at: www.nnalcot.blogspot.com
