To the Poets

To the Poets

A Poem by Rain
"

I've been thinking of the endless of poets and writers, our brothers and sisters, whose burden bonds us.

"

  

here's to all the poets
who sat with just a pen
and labored into the night
to find the poems end
 
minds with words that drift
looking for a place to fit
that perfect little word
that seals the feel of it
 
broken hearted human beings
who struggle to express the pain
of how deep the hurt of loss is
that even words are penned in vain
 
to the writers whose lives are lost
whose only friends float deep within
simple words of gray and black
color their lives from start to end
 
here's to the countless writers
in search of that immortal line
that screams to all who read
i was someone..somewhere..sometime

Featured Review

" Poetry is not the proper antithesis to prose, but to science. Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to metre'. The proper and immediate object of science is the aquirement, or communication, of truth;
the proper and immediate object of poetry is the communication of immediate pleasure."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I have to agee with Sam on that one.
As a poet; I seek beyond all else to to bring my reader ecstasy.
I know then that my reader will be a faithful lover, leave satisfied, and return often.
Just mine and Sam's thoughts.

You do the writers of the world justice here. Your style captures the struggles that writers go through. This was a pleasure to read and I am happy to have come across it.

here's to all the writers, the ones like you who have stories to tell, the ones like me who scatter foolish wisdom, and all the others . . .

Rain, your writing has such depth and meaning it is a true shame more people do nto get to experience your art. You find ways to bring your ideas to the forefront and into full focus. Your writing is an art form. Power to the pen!

I'd just be happy if they could understand what they read. :) Kudos to you, but don't forget not all writing is written in pain. Well done.

I too really was zapped by your last lines here. We who are writers, poets, or whatever title we choose to give ourselves in our own mind HAVE to write to be complete. Words, such simple things and yet they are our avenues to find whom we are and let others too see the true person that sits behind the keys to type the words that belong to their soul. Myself, when I am gone, if even one person finds my work and finds value in it, then I have completed my goal. As always, a great write. Versitility is most certainly yours as well as the title POET.

Hugs,
Lesa
