The writer's chalice.

From a cup of ink floweth

the thoughts 

the chalice contains

to spill onto paper

in the form of

a writer's sermon-

a symbolic travesty

on the meaning of life

where the pen travels

alone in its wake.

"a writer's sermon-
a symbolic travesty"
interesting conflict of intent says i! as writers/poets do hold honesty high in our attempts ..i suppose the reality is that we will fall short every time ... its those sparkling moments of coming close however that make it all so worth trying over and over again ;) and again we strive to be unique ..and so alone ..what an interesting thought and view point ... i like the chalice and the cup floweth ...;)

I was trying to express the different translations or misinterpretations one can get from one poem. Probably not the right words I chose "symbolic travesty" lol but thanks for the top review Gene.

we do all see what we see eh!? :} those two lines send me in a different direction but i think your point is well made ... i am always tempted off track by one line or phrase or another ... your poems are most always sparse with wide sweep ..so lots of room to "plug" in ones "interpretation" ... we intend one thing but achieve many "others" ... kind of a beautiful bouquet of sorts

thats the beauty of poetry i reckon
