words of a poet

with this poem i wanted to capture the poet feelings toward the world and his own words

I am the poet , I am the writer

I play the universal symphony to make things brighter

I listen to the rhythmic melodies , i behold the world with pondering eyes

i plunge my being into the hollow , i flee my spirit to the skies

the universe's whispers into my ears 

the strikes of the thunder, the man tears

the hissing of the grass , the ripples of the water

the signals of the stars , the creeps of the shadow

the beaming of the sun , the veil of the night 

i listen 

i write

my words are my riddance 

my words are my fury

my words are my joy

my words are my aching

my words are ME

those words are to be recited at the most glorious moment , are to be recited at every moment

those words are to be engraved , are to be dug into the mighty stones of wisdom , the mighty stones of virtue

they shall be forever recited 

the shall be forever remembered

Reviews

[Dr. Wood ?]

yes..very good
I think it might be better if the rhymes were disguised more as it comes across as free verse and the rhyming sort of gets in the way...GREAT coming from me as I rhyme almost all of the time...Still a very good write though

[Latifa]

thank you for the great review

[Marie]

There are those times I don't know what I write.(really) There are those times I don't know why I write. There are times I write with purpose and times just to frolic in the verse. At twenty-one you've written what I couldn't figure at seventy. Thank Latifa. Oh, i think this an excellent write in content and style. Tom

[Latifa]

oh you're words have draw a big grin on my face tom thank you

[WithLoveandLoss.]

This is lovely, and urgent: "my words are my aching/my words are ME". Beautiful style and flow.

[Sheila Kline]

And this is why we write! You have captured the reasons of why you write in a way that we as a writer can understand and agree with!

Nice job, notice you stop the rhyme scheme in the middle, might be worth putting it all into free verse and adding some punctuation..
