Thirst

Thirst

 

Give me a sketch Tell me your story

Craft me your etch signatory

Teach this old wretch of your hearts glory

Your canvas Stretch render quarry

 

Swell these hollow aches in our souls

Bid us follow grace we might know

Soothe these sorrows breaks to feel whole

Let us wallow, wrap in your glow

what a coincidence! I'm writing a new poem that starts with "give me.../gift me", anyway back to Your brilliant poem, You spoke of us all, our thirst to keep on creating, that thirst which keeps us moving on and on, the other hand You let me remember how I always wanted a partner whom I can with him create art, for me poetry and music. one thing about Your poetry, Your rhythm and beat will always be outstanding and I can't but feel that I'm dancing.

[Robert Trakofler]

oh yum a lightsong poem is coming:)
now I'm dancing!!!
sigh:)
when I wrote this the words floating in my mind was... teach me

[lightsong]

hhaa You are really sweet Mr. Bunny :) and BTW I like these floating words "teach me" they ignite the inspiration for a new poem ✏️📒

A blank Canvas by a deep Ocean where waves of turquoise blue
whisper in sounds of seagull lullabies... to capture your eyes and
and a smile that says, "stay forever and a day... and I will be your
North Star". truly, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

Patricia you are a consummate poet!

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Bunny... may we survive to share words of encouragement... in poetic waves of seafaring ships where hospitals save the saviours of destiny... Amen... Pat

Art can speak, when the lips never move. This piece describes that so well.
I love this portion-
“ Swell these hollow aches in our souls
Bid us follow grace we might know”
So very beautiful❤️

[Robert Trakofler]

thank you so much Scripted:)

There is insane power in a blank canvas, an infinite potential to yield art. The artist can never be content with his work, he yearns and thirsts to be more perfect; therein lies his boon and his bane. This is what drives us to get up and write, instead of being content with sitting on our bottoms all day, and yet this is what makes us feel miserable.

[Robert Trakofler]

Hi Moon:) the ache never seems to get filled:( but we keep trying... a lovely malady yes?

[h d e rushin]

after working the "get out the vote" campaign here in Detroit for Bernie Sanders, where only a fraction of the electorate even bothered, I needed again this electrodesiccation; this brilliant flashing and fulguration to remind me that language is a greater portage than a trillion unused promises ….great write...dana

[Robert Trakofler]

oh I remember the days of door to door campaigning:/ and thank you for your activism:) I just use my store as a campaigner now:) got the broken windows to prove it too LOL I never did replace the window they broke pulling out the Hillary sign:? kinda kept it as a badge of honor but I probably should replace the glass for the next candidate I did some stuff for Mayor Pete but if you think it's hard to get someone behind a woman it's twice as hard to get them to support a gay one:? yet we both still have hope in our hearts dear Dana!!!! I hope the play is going better I'm dying to read some of it

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Oh I feel the warmth of that glow and the deep yearning of your heart...so gentle so kind so much love to offer...just beautiful....🌹

[Robert Trakofler]

Hello Thoughts...nice to meet you! I was going to abbreviate you name after the Hello but LOL realized that wouldn't come across the right way:) thank you so much especially for seeing the love part!!

[Fran Marie]

Like the rhythm
and rhyme...in
which this was written
like a poet's prayer in
poetic verse

we never quite quench
that thirst to create..
hopefully we never will
may we all thirst to keep
the ink flowing smoothly
with each new inspiration

nice work

[Robert Trakofler]

thanks Fran:) yum yum give me more

[Chris Shaw]

Oh yes Bunny, a thirst for our art. Always looking for the next inspiration. Always looking to improve on what we have created before. I love the musicality of this write, such a great rhythm. Good job done here.

Chris

[Robert Trakofler]

Hi Chris:) thank you my dear ill take that as a compliment coming from the the rhythm and rhyme queen

[Neville]

You have without doubt crafted a little masterpiece here Robert sir and without going on and on unnecessarily, methinks this is one of your very finest yet..

Neville

[Robert Trakofler]

thank you Sir Neville I don't need to explain the gravity of your eyes view to this bunny

[Neville]

The font is large enough but my daughter has taken to reading to me on her days off and when she is not looking to buy a house...

[Robert Trakofler]

I do the large fonts for that reason my fellow visually impaired friend:) I got you tho that last remark had a double meaning I was also referring to the gravity of YOUR review to ME

[Neville]

smiling from ear to there :)

A prayer for the arts, indeed this is! For many it is a religion all of its own. Those of us who are genuine in our thirst always anxiously anticipate our next moment of inspiration. Who needs any other form of drug when we have our art! I find your style interesting...a kind of offbeat rhyme that blends into a cohesive whole. An interesting discovery for this new young lady on the cafe. Enjoyed it, monsieur Robert.:)

[Robert Trakofler]

Wow thank you Jamila, nice to meet you and welcome to the cafe:) that's a funny way to put it "art is my religion" it is most certainly my drug of choice:/ I am a drummer, lyricist/vocalist and a poet so I think a lot of that bleeds thru into my writing

[.]

Wow! An artist of all trades! If you learn the harp and the triangle you'll have all bases covered! You're very welcome!:))

[Robert Trakofler]

oh how I wish i could play a stringed instrument my fractured brain just won't allow:( I have always had to use surrogates in that arena

[.]

As would i, dear Robert, i just lack the patience for it. My Mother played the violin in the Orchestre De Paris in her youth, so the only strings i could play were those on her head with my refusal to follow in her footsteps. :))

[John the Baptist]

I'll bet you give this pep talk to the artists who display in your gallery.

[Robert Trakofler]

Hi john:) this would be a nice thing to read before an art class
