The Poet's Ink
Heady words rush free and rampant,
gushing forth in flooding tides
from a hand that's poised to pen them.
On their waves, emotion rides.
Sometimes clear and sometimes cryptic,
words will rise and overflow,
spilling forth from swollen banks to
then present in grand tableau.
The poet's ink of time and temper
ever waits to hear the tune...
longs to seize double entendre
and carve it into poetic rune.
Intoxicating words rush, rearing
in effusion, flash in tides...
the poet's hand is poised to pen them...
on breaking waves, emotion rides.

Beautiful and "poetic" explanation of how a poet writes and sees things. I feel my comments never do your writing justice.

plarson,I so don't agree...your comments inspire this poet's ink and she's ever grateful for the read and inspiration!
Spoken true from the soul of a poet. Just beautiful.

dianeaugust, thank you so very much.
You have a true and rare Gift Tender Heart. While many could write what a poet is or isn't, what a poem is and how to write one. You are able to take the more ethereal heart and soul of a poem and give it physical form, in the most beautiful way

"The poet's ink of time and temper ever waits to hear the tune."
I often will simply sit at my writing spot and listen to my muse as he speaks to my inner child and thus comes forth what I pen...Thank you for your art with words.
