RE: Picture Poetry anyone?Your piece is full of LIFE: of all that is in life is in this challenge of an ascent. I see you covered the aspects from the innermost to the outer limits--- only one thing if changed would bring closer to perfection: the entire poem is in a subjective perspective then jumps to objective in last line; possibley 'I' should still be the voice. |

And such an inspirational write!! |

RE: Picture Poetry anyone?Dive Confined to the surface of laws and rules, conforming to the ways of patterns and schools, am I destined for greatness or being led by fools? I search for reality in the core of illusion, I shuffle through the masses fighting fear and confusion, no room to move I yearn for seclusion. The limits of gravity I willingly defy, hoping for a glimpse of creations eye, I conquer my fear and dive into the sky. Last edited by RPT40 11-09-2010 at 04:51:48 PM |

That car came off the shoulder And passed me on the right Then took my lovely Melinda Away from me that night Now I’m left here all alone To sit and grieve and sigh So once again I ask you, Lord This simple question, “Why?” - Londo

RE: RE: Picture Poetry anyone?Quote: Originally Posted by julieannetx We always were so worried About which one of us passed first Neither wanting to be alone Knowing last would be the worst For some uncanny reason God saved us from that strife He let us die as meant to be As husband with his wife Lying in each others' arms Neither one of us distraught We faced our death together “Thank You” our last thought I really dug this. |

In the theater of the cosmos the star takes the stage, performing for the crowd a magical moment, as the artist creates. |

BLUE BAY MOON Bay moon, blue, o’er waters sleep Rest above this darkened deep Night covers all in starry keep To bliss awed eyes as hearts leap Air stirs sweet in lilac scent Joyful mind in kind presents Comfort pure, such not relents Cheers grace in beauty’s evidence.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
