Poetry in Motion

ARS POETICA

 

   The man, woman, poets as beings, connected to the force

the alliance, melding muses of light and darkness,like a sword

strike forth with the mighty pen of midnight ink

Stained pages of powerful poetry lay bare for hungry eyes to

devour each line~not useless words that are merely uttered in

somber whispers,then forgotten

No,this is the art of poetic verse penned upon fine parchment

filled with passion, deeply expressed to impart and imprint 'pon

mind and soul, should others read and behold its mystical notes

and consume the artistic value of its magic,as coherence affirms

and defines poetry's validity

Fly on the wings of pegasus~lighting the moon

Releasing the stars

Burning words, scorching the depths of hell's raging inferno!

Cascading words, cooling the zenith of heaven's meadows!

Achieve the power of distinguishing your emotions, take up

your pen and put poetry in motion~sharpen your mighty sword

and share the adventure with the honor of a poet in quest of

beauty and grace of the written word

 

            'Lest it ceases to be

                    and the soul doth wither

                                    for lack thereof~

Beautiful!! And the graphic.... stunning!

Wow, Fran -- your talent shines very brightly in this piece --
I believe this is my favorite of yours so far ....

"Stained pages of powerful poetry lay bare for hungry eyes to

Poems leaving a permanent mark on the minds and souls of others --
so write from the depth of the soul -- with purpose --
indeed...

I was especially taken with the last lines..

~'Lest it ceases to be

and the soul doth wither

for lack thereof~

Such piercing truth lies therein.
Outstanding work Fran! Good luck in the contest! :)

I'm certinally glad you brought this piece back It tells us what poetry should be not what it had in some instances become. The English language is versitile and flexable it can and does give us better ways to express our thoughts and ourselves without resorting to shall we say "less than acceptable wordings."
Of course a poet has every right to use the language of their choice just as the reader has the choice of reading or not reading a particulaur poem or poet.

Beautiful, fluid and pure.. this piece is so rawly delicate yet fierce with passion! A solid statement in poetic verse that does lift to validify the written words shining from your heart, mind and soul. I truly enjoyed this one.. felt solid! I'd love to see you write more like this.. very inspirational.

Thank you for entering this in, "Be Experimental," normally I'm not to keen about poems about the art of poetry a lot of the time I think they are too self indulgent, but I've read two poems now in the contest and these two poems have gone a long way to changing my mind.

I think this poem is one of the most professional pieces I've read on Writer's Cafe, it ebbs and flows the imagery is beautiful. I bow to your talent I really do!
