Flowing

A response to cryingkate's poem, "RiverWords". This was the gut response to reading her poem and was not a work as much as the pure flow of inspiration. Thank you Kate.

Flowing

How genteel thy words fall upon my eye...
And the voice, so polite while they take a seat in my mind.
Whence comes this messenger,
is it a Saint or friend of "Nick"?
Ah... we sigh together upon our parting,
this river and I.
Bathing in the birdsong of now,
ignoring the distant rumble of a sea
raging...
Mesmerized,
memorizing what is written between each heartbeat,
"Riverwords"

My man wore a pilot uniform for Santa, he would have LOVED to wear brown shorts...or nothing at all....

[Kristine Stewart]

Very nice. I would call this graceful..

[David Scott]

Thank you kritines. Sorry I'm late on responding. I've been traveling.

[Kristine Stewart]

I hope you were traveling as Santa.....

[Junction]

Simply beautiful poem. I love the last line. Wow if you could feel that in life.

[David Scott]

If one has written it, all "can" feel it.
Thank you for the review.

[Junction]

Very true!

[A hare off]

this read like a message on an echo, softly continuing until it fades in the distance and we are sorry we didn't listen closer. A magically beautiful little poem, haunting even.

[David Scott]

Thank you very much for the comment. How poetic your interpretation sings.

[Nani Mino]

deeeeeeep words and touchy feeling

[David Scott]

Maybe some rivers run deep... Others just giggle over pebbles. :)
Thank you for leaving a comment.

[Nani Mino]

i feel that you are controling your words well. i hope if give me some advices to improve my writing

[David Scott]

I am not a professional writer... Happy to give my two cents worth if it might help.
"Control" might be a skill, but I think it is more like riding a horse without saddle or bit... You must guide it. There is no ability to control such an animal as words unless you wish to break its spirit. No point in doing such I think. So, my fist penny of a thought is spent. :)

[Nani Mino]

so , you are modest

[David Scott]

Ha. Well, I'm sure I can be too big for my britches at times too. Just realistic. I'm a dentist... Not a writer. I write because it keeps something alive inside me I do not want to let die... I write because I see beauty in others I would be a part of nurturing. Like finding a perfect forest beside a bountiful ocean and knowing it must be cared for as best you can, even though it is bigger and beyond anything you posses. Does this make any sense?

[Nani Mino]

realy you want to use up all your moments in this life you are optimistic . if i need any thing concerning my teeth i will ask you . thank you the best poet or the best dentist

[Michelle Gent]

[Michelle Gent]

[Willard Wells]

Whatever the force behind the flow of this work it worked very well. Again a gently flowing piece.

[David Scott]

Thank you for the review Will. Inspirations are all around us all the time. It is when we are receptive art is created. IMO... :)
