Metaphorically Speaking

 

 

I am a poet.

Metaphorically speaking ,

I bleed muted words

 

and drink the moon.

Kelly, first I apologize for such a late review. I read this one shortly after you posted it and thought I’d left a review.

Yes, you are a poet! And, in these few words capture the magic of poetry, the silent pain we bleed onto pages, redeemed later with the moon’s distant influence. A literal success, I say.

[R.E. Ray]

Ok, that’s weird. I didn’t see my previous review until I posted this one! Well, lucky you... two reviews. ;) Must be this coffee this morning.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I know the feeling, Robert!

I love the combination of Title and content of this beautiful little poem.
You can not say "Metaphorically speaking, i drink the moon". That is just brilliant beyond anything. These three four lines going to have my attention occupied for a long time now.
"Metaphorically speaking, i have a rainbow in my heart". This is that good.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Such a lovely analogy, Digvijay. Thank you for the warmth your kindness brings me!

dear Lisa... last night we saw an unidentified flying object below
a Banana Moon. It moved slightly until out of sight. Never underestimate the
Universe or you, dear one. truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

It's Kelly, Pat! ...but I thank you all the same my friend!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly... I must have had too much moonshine.
You are like the North Star to keep us focused.
truly, Pat

As the moon affects the tides, she affects the poet's heart. We could never witness such beauty and not be affected, bleeding muted words. Lovely!

[Kelly Scheppers]

My astrological sign of Cancer refers to me as a "moonmaiden". I think it fits me. Thank you, Linda.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Wow.............This expresses imposter syndrome challenged and yet the feeling that expression is normal and 'gender neutral' That final 'added' line is sadly wonderful Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am flattered you enjoyed it, truly. Thank you, John!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

oh yes, bleeding muted words...but palpable words...
and getting drunk with Mr. Moon...why not?
love this, Kelly.

...thank you, Jacob. Remember to save some wine for me!

[Pryde Foltz]

Gulp gulp. And we drink it up:)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Our thirst never sated. Thank you, Pryde!

[Crowley]

[Kelly Scheppers]

You've made my day - thank you, Crowley!
