Miss Sub :
What shall I say , other than between your written , and spoken words
you have again rent the veil between the human dilemma and passion
of the soul , and united them in scripted symbol , and visual voice ;
Very well done !
Thank you for that submission...no coffee yet in me , but that helped awaken my mind !
So we are rockin' !
Less than three weeks to go , some incredible entries...please keep them coming !
I have two of the three other judges lined up...I feel very confident in their abilities ;
I now need one old timer here , with a feminine bend on poetic reality , and expertise...;)

I do have a question for you , about the Muse in your poem ,

Perhaps you could pm me...Thanks , and thanks for the submission !

Namaste
These words bear the weight of a thousand emotions
Expression of thought
Embedded within my mind's mechanisms
The complexity of how I think,
Is something I can't comprehend
But I find myself dumbfounded
When the paper touches pen
The words I can't ever find to say
Just pop up in my head
As if I wrote this yesterday
The brain is an instrument
For consciousness to express
This pen is my outlet
For words to manifest
This paper is my temple,
Where I meditate
I am the Buddha,
In a tranquil state
This is the place where I find peace
Awake, enlightened and darkness deceased
I transfer my energies
Into this poem
As a gift of merit
Wherever you may roam

Haiku/Senryu Renga: CHANTINGS🎏
( Jade-Pandora & Hepcat61)
Buddha
the one who sees all
namu amida butsu
crane on utmost branch
(geoff)
only the tree
sees the crane standing
nen nen fu ri shin
(jade)
Dharma
emptied to be filled
namu amida butsu
sun in morning fog
(geoff)
morning fog
hiding day's new sun in vain
nen nen fu ri shin
(jade)
Sangha
encompassing all
namu amida butsu
a wind in wheat fields
(geoff)
prayer flags
sending proof that wind exists
nen nen fu ri shin
(jade)
Namu Amida Butsu means
"total reliance upon the compassion of Amida Buddha."
Nen Nen Fu Ri Shin means
"Thought after thought are not separate from mind."

Golden quill
From goose It comes and brings with it
the gift of pros with feather touch
my bard scratch out some thoughts
pen knife to sharpen nibs end results
the laureate touch the diamond phrase
the quoted quote upon the page
a quill of gold to dip in ink
from flesh to Fletch to make me think
my muse to write a scroll on my soul
she the quill to dip, she the ink
golden poems from my mind will flow
an empty page so here we go !

You need another judge? I fit at least two of your three criteria--I may not be a full fledged expert, but I'm old and I'm female......
