Arizona Poetry Vine

Pages upon endless pages
Filled with magical words
Poetry sprouting slowly
Growing with care over time
Blossoming into the sublime

Chapter after long chapter
Words becoming twisting ivy
Climbing skyward towards the sun
Tangling in delicate details
Trellises covered in a veil

Journal infinite journal
Swirls with eternal sentences
Flowing with rhythmic flavor
As roots sprawl out underground
Whispering amorous sounds

Stanza by romantic stanza
Spring forth with budding foliage
Arizona etched on some leaves
A silvery craving painted
By life, it’s not yet been tainted

your words in this
lovely write bursts
forth with the love
and joy we poets
feel when writing

poetry is something
in and of itself
A rewarding effort
mana for the soul
and a blessing for
those who can write
it..and grow with it.

neat poem

I’m glad you enjoy this poem. It has a calming vibe for me. There is some hidden meaning within it about someone who I have been writing about for ages it seems and he moved him to Arizona about 10 or 11 years ago. We still talk and messaged almost daily

The Climate must be lovely in Arizona... the warm earth and sand with Cactus Castles... blue skies and dreams of a soft rain to ease your pain...
resting in the Rainbows shadow. tenderly, Pat

I’ve have not yet been but the person this was written about/for lives there and says I’m spot on with the details. The desert is written from my dreams about a real person who once lived close to me but has since when back to where he is originally from; many years ago

[lightsong]

Love this one so much dear PB, again your last verse stands alone itself, the last line is magical and moving to me, there is no doubt something really personal through your words.

[Poetic Beauty]

Anything with desert or Arizona is very personal.

[Vertigo Cat1111]

The words and imagery are absolutely beautiful. The magic and the swirl of the roots are written amazingly and you can see the imagery in all of it. The rhyming is great too, and I can just see the roots curling and growing, creating more and more trees.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. Painting the right imagery for this poem took some work.

You plant the seeds of poetry and something wonderful grows on the vine that that you have sown. Nicely done

[Poetic Beauty]

Poetry is like a living plant continually growing

How lovely your words are in this stellar Arizona poetic homage PB! The imagery soars is as though you are actually penning your poem upon the natural flora found in Arizona itself- gorgeous. Beautiful language, metaphor, analogy, flow, musicality. Enchanting write. “Poetry sprouting slowly” and touching the sun and moon. Brava!

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. My poetry is living growing plant

[wordman]

the words of a poet captured in the readers heart sprouting and growing like a blossoming vine

[Poetic Beauty]

That wa exactly the idea of this poem

[wordman]

my pleasure

[Dave Brown]

I enjoy this especially for the setting
I'm doing a desert thingy these days and am into sand and cacti and mesquite etc.

[Poetic Beauty]

I am going to go to Arizona on vacation sometime this year. I’ve been dreaming about Arizona for 10 or 11 years now

[John the Baptist]

Not sure if this one depicts the work of one poet or a network of them. Whatever, the growth and output seem to be steady and prolific. I would say block has never set foot in this neighborhood.

[Poetic Beauty]

It would be about my writing and how it grows over time and Arizona is where my friend lives so sometimes it’s etched in the poetry

[barleygirl]

Your poem is one of the few on this website that illustrates the sheer ecstasy of writing. You do this with expansive descriptions of how it comes together & grows. All too familiar here are the poems bemoaning writers block or an overly critical muse. I find writing to be exactly as you depict here . . . even when it comes a little bit hard at times, it's always an unequivocal thrill to have the blessing of being articulate (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Poetic Beauty]

I couldn’t agree more. I love writing in general. It’s an actual love and for quite awhile I had put it to the way side. And I decided to make
Myself do yoga and write everyday
