I Write therefore I Am

I write poetry

    because no one hears

                the spoken word

    ~ink it~ 

               magically,

   becomes more arresting

             than the utterance of voice

like an enchanting song

             it brings a melody to mind

   undulating waves in and about

           the strings of heart

lengths of strands,

 unadulterated thoughts

            to bestow

A divine. sweet find .

         like the mystical pearls of an oyster

           twisted gently to

overflow & materialize

          set the mood so elevated

take it the deepest sea depths

or the sky if you dare,

commanding in its flight...

        Just fly with it instinctively

        feel the winds soar as you heighten,

                   & release yourself so freely

[Alexander B. Kerri]

Yet literature may not always end up as something positive, perhaps it might be something of the abrogating mental aroma. For many authors such as myself go mad over the smallest bits of harmful realization throughout descending into greater literature.

[Frieda P]

It's all good, as long as it makes you 'feel' something in estimation...thanks Alexander.

[Marie]

Lyrical imagry...sometimes the written word is more than speeech...even more than a picture...

[Frieda P]

I so agree, thanks Marie.

[Blue Ivory]

Strange, I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today... This is true. Sometimes it is harder to express yourself vocally though. And if you poured your heart out through talking, it'd sound less convincing for some reason. I never understood that. I love your poem :)

[Frieda P]

Me either, I guess that's one of the reasons I write, and to keep semi-sane...thanks Siren ;-)

[Holly Mason]

yes fly with them I love words I love words put together so well that they spark emotion I love your mind by the way always jumpin always hopin-you never know what you are going to get no matter the title you use-fascinatingly enticing truly
thank you for sharing

[Frieda P]

Awh Holly, such a sweet review, thanks so much.

[Jack...]

You are always right therefore you always are my favorite poet on the site. Very nice Frieda and a wonderful subject as your words to bring an understanding to us as we read.

[Frieda P]

Now that made me laugh, I know a few people that would argue that point! Thanks so much Jack.

[N!LoC]

your poems are allways so.... (the word escapes my mind)... urgh....

[Frieda P]

I get it, and thanks ;-)

[Jack Reaper]

wow, i think that should be an anthem for writers block. i think most writers can relate to this. i love everything about it. ill be revisiting this every time i have writers block.

[Frieda P]

I love this review JR, thanks so much!

[Jack Reaper]

you are very welcome

[khalid]

and i cant imagine, how much it would be awful if you havent been writing poetry. let me add, we can remember what poets of the past have written, while we dont remember what they have said..poetry is immortal..

[Frieda P]

so so true, the written word holds so more potency I think...and they have staying power, although I've been hit by a few that weren't written and brought me to my knees, thanks so much khalid.

[khalid]

my pleasure..great poetess

[Michael Kevin Spencer]

An oyster of our brain's sachitananda, poetry, I can relate to this write!

[Frieda P]

Wow, I'll take that as high praise! Thanks so much MKS.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is beautiful...and yes about the release...i think we write for ourselves initially just to get it out.

we need to...and i think readers relate to us more when we write because they can put their own voice to the words.

[Frieda P]

Yes, I would agree wholeheartedly jacob..thanks for your thoughts.

[Michael G.]

Excellent.
In most things I feel I can write about much easier than give voice.

[Frieda P]

I think that's why so many of us write...it's a release for me, I know that much, thanks kindly Michael.
