Let’s decorate the trees with words
The sky with all we feel
Wrap the clouds in
Ribbons of rhyme
No time to waste
This party must go on
Fill my glass with rambled thoughts
And grenadine
Slightly blended please
No distinction or lines
Interpretations are never defined
Inhibitions, like confetti
Thrown carelessly into the wind
And we’ll laugh….
Because we know
This poetry thing is nothing more
Than everything we are and see
Know and live
Loved and lost
Perceive and paint
From the pallets of our soul
~
Let’s dance along the moonlit path
Where neurons sparkle endlessly
Lighting the way for
Our wandering minds
To now and then
And why and when
We’ll rig a jig jig
Stepping to the beat
Of our hearts
Open and wounded
Flowing or frozen
In time
And we’ll laugh….
Because we know
This poetry thing is how we breathe
Or catch our breath
Between the gales that be
Dogmatically chanting
Secretly ranting
A slow release of our minds
~
Dverse Poet’s Pub is celebrating three years!! Wooo hooo!!!
This poetry thing is nothing more
Than everything we are and see…
this poetry thing is how we breathe
yes in many ways it is…or has become such…
never would have believed that when i started writing it
5 years ago….but yes it is…
i like the energy and movement in this…
and the dance.
I wrote poetry in my teens and early twenties, then never again until a few years ago. I am amazed at how it seems to have an energy of it’s own, pushing me along. Not looking forward to any writers blocks because I am enjoying every moment.
Thank you for your comments, Brian. I always appreciate your feedback. Your knowledge, humor, encouragement and leadership at dVerse are definitely an asset to the Pub! 🙂
My neurons are dancing to the Play of your words..:)!hmm..i’m quite sure an MRI will verifythat2..or whatever that thingy they use is..to measure the energy and flow of my imagination..ALIVE!as i receive your soul…!

I think poetry can become an important form of expression in our lives, as well as a refuge from our chaotic lives.
“From the pallets of our soul” Absolutely loved this line, what a great capture.

This is the style I’d like to master! Lovely first line and a nice delicate, ‘real’ touch with words – things like adding the grenadine really make the difference.
