Your Words For Mine (To Poetry)

And Lightsong

Your way with words
has sway of mine ~
thoughts divine.
My heart, for you shines.
Reflects
in your light
to write love,
a call, I shan't decline.

Set your pen, to my tone
so your heartbeats in my
hand.
The way you line
I may not sing
notes that rhyme,
yet, in harmonious ink
we align.

Words are power
when songs are sung.
Intimate in rhythm
a form composed
~ spontaneity ~
has need to be.
When heartstrings strum,
set pages free.

You are my words
I am your flow
You are my motion
I write your melody

Music is our love

Together,
we simply are
poetry!

Please go to Lightsong's profile and read this there. She was able to present the poem as I can't with art. Thank you.

A trade-off in words; let's try to make them sway in rhythm', in passion, "when the heartstrings hum"
Let's play in harmony so that each word can be heard; we are one in words, free with motion galore ...we together are powerful in our words....let's always be in sync....good performance W.!

We are the symphony. The heart conducts us. Our poetry as a composition transposed, would be very interesting to hear. Thanks Betty

I distinctly remember responding to your review, but have no idea where it went. I hope you saw Ghounwah's version.

[Betty Hermelee]

only yours...and you're welcome!

Please look at hers Betty. She picked some amazing art for it and made it all pretty like I can't.

Poetry about poetry is something I enjoy with relish. Thanks for co-writing this with Lightsong. It seamlessly demonstrates the unity of your quilling. The artwork is a visual aid and probably a poem in itself. So the reader is getting a double treat in one post. Perhaps just as well as two poets worked together on this. Simply beautiful. /Frederick.

Thanks Kathy. Please go to lightsong's version and check it out there. I don't have the presentation capabilities.

Call me CRAZY but as I read this I figure that we should be working more in the first two verses (PLEASE DON'T KILL YOURSELF!)😂😂😂 I am satisfied with the last four verses than the first two. Thank You for the nice experience Bill :>

[William Michael Reeves]

A very successful co-effort here. As I told LS, even though there is an admission that there is not complete harmony, the general spirit is one of oneness. Also told her I was pretty sure Putin had no part in this production.
