"Poet Oh Poet"

"Poet Oh Poet"

A Poem by icelandicblue

"Poet oh poet," bleed your soul upon the parchment
make me see reality through new eyes,
sew golden threads throughout vivid imagery
make me breathe in your plaintive hue and cry.

"Poet oh poet," enchant me with your verse
create beauty from the unknown, the mundane,
wrap me tight within your silken language
stroke me with joy, stab me with pain.

"Poet oh poet," how I long to lose myself in your voice
bestow upon me the mysteries of hidden worlds,
so that I might find myself in places undiscovered
where love is the answer and sweet wonders unfurl.

Well I felt renewed by this writing and when it came to write down why I run into difficulties and hear me out that doesn't happen to me very often. Had to stop and think and then of course it hit me. The descriptions here are great and I can sympathize with them and some even feel them but see, because of that the writing is very fluid and it makes you feel as if you understood but what is not written down is actually more than essential as in the end a Poet will be able to convey what seems invisible and then suddenly through his bridge building techniques make it visible for others just like Ice did here.

Thankyou

We at least try to make the intangible tangible. Thank you Rene.

My oh my… when you poor out your soul in verse you are bound to touch other's souls in some form. Very nice work.

My words are just the truth, but you are always welcome.
The middle stanza does it for me -- especially the stab me with your pain line.

It's not all pretty all of the time. Thank you KL.
When the poetry is perfect, this how, I feel, about writing it. Sadly, of late, my connection to this world, has been lacking, for health reasons. Where everything seems, so distance from me.

Thank you, Icelandicblue, I am doing so.
This is exactly how I feel sometimes. I read some poems that just connect, click and they carry me away.
This had that really smooth glowing feeling to it that just carries the reader along. Gorgeous.

Yes … that is it:)
i do think we want to lose ourselves in poetry when we read it...
and i do think from reading others' works we discover more about us if we let the poems do that ...

too often we harp on particular meaning...or we focus on form and delivery and forget to feel the poem.

you do rhyme almost like a sleight of pen...subtle...so we concentrate not on form but on feeling.
