Grace
With a wink and a nod
she conjures delight.
Turning dull moments into pure light.
Grace, the jester,
with a heart so sunny,
her world is a playground,
endlessly funny.

Lotus Flower (dimpy)
Innocence’s bliss
On a rugged path
Men
Beneath your feet
Declared
You sultry-sweet
Your petals
Opening elegantly
For all you have lost
What other’s can’t see…
Girl, smile
Bloom
Be magnificently
You
On a rugged path
Men
Beneath your feet
Declared
You sultry-sweet
Your petals
Opening elegantly
For all you have lost
What other’s can’t see…
Girl, smile
Bloom
Be magnificently
You

Hidden (Maple666)
She’s the woman behind the woman
The closed book
Unassuming
Or is she?
Her words
Sneak up on you
Unapologetic
In her quiet roar
So unique to her
Her vulnerability
So raw you almost
Want to look away
The page
Magnetized
Your eyes glued
This woman
Ain’t no fool
I know a treasure
When I see it
She’s staying put
In my
“Following” list
Because she’s
Precious
The closed book
Unassuming
Or is she?
Her words
Sneak up on you
Unapologetic
In her quiet roar
So unique to her
Her vulnerability
So raw you almost
Want to look away

Magnetized

Ain’t no fool

Keep Swimming
Carve out your path
Young sister of mine
And
Don’t ever forget:
Your mind
Is gorgeous
You’re tenacious
Intelligent
Beautiful
Creative
Introspective
Enough
You’ve already moved mountains
When the world
Suddenly feels too heavy
And you just need
To hear
Something friendly
Remember:
My world has been
Enhanced
Since I’ve had
The opportunity
To get to know you
moony_
You inspire me daily
To be a better me
And
Keep swimming
Young sister of mine
And
Don’t ever forget:

You’re tenacious

Van the man
how to express
this paladin born from art
epistles velveteen
a word for a word
fountainpen fireworks unheard
portraits so profound
lunacies of love
mermaids moving
through wild creeks and streams
quote me an apostrophe
become each line
beyond mortalities
your signature
pallet of a sage
quintessence
living is a dying art
as art becomes my quest
where all ignites
as only
the fiercest
loveliest
light

I want to take a moment to thank everyone for their beautifully heartfelt entries. This is a very busy time for my businesses right now, so I will attempt to get to each entry and comment asap. In the interim, those who have honored the essence of this comp by speaking your heart to someone NOW, before they're gone, I deeply appreciate you braving the spirit of the challenge.
Carry on and I hope everyone's holidays are blessed with much love and happiness.

captured chapters
visions
Highlands exposed
natural beauty
scaped from your hands
clansmen histories
ghostly innocence
pure ripe fresh crispy air
blows through your verse
finding energies
a feather floats
in a rippled pond
where pebbles
sink slowly
though never away

A Soldier in an Unjust War (Thor_Azine)
Kindred spirits
wear torment
like a badge
and rip it off
like a scab…
Baring his soul
authenticity
coursing
through his veins
while high octane
stanzas set
his past ablaze
Until there’s
no more armor
to polish
his nightmares
abolished
no more boots
to lace
his demons
put in
their place
The plume settling
as he
brushes off
the dust
world-weary
for all he’s loved
and lost
Thor
the soldier
victorious
and true
I couldn’t have
found
a braver man
to call
my friend
than you
wear torment
like a badge
and rip it off
like a scab…

The Art of Caring (Trillium)
In a world where people are often aloof
not you!
your passion for poetry
learning
expression
caring
inspires me
Taking the time to enjoy and admire
the little things
is nothing short of a blessing
speaking your mind
questioning
immersing yourself in your surroundings
is...something
And your paintings and drawings?
Don't even get me started...
When my life spiraled
whenever it spirals
you're there
to share
a sketch, a watercolor, a smile
You don't hang out
In the background
your judgement sound
quietly standing by
you're quite the guy
most may think
you're a quiet guy
but I know better
your thirst
for all that is good
is LOUD
My friend, you
are the blessing
and I'm fortunate
to know you
not you!

My Guiding Light (Stoney223)
Out of darkness grows light
my friend
the Shaman
survived the fight of his life
cancer, four kinds
his spiritual journey
his wise mind
every drop of wisdom
I could hope to find
Wrapped up
In one exceptional
Man
His wisdom
Displayed for all to see
(not just me)
The man
the myth
the legend
my friend
He's my guiding light

Touched By Grace (Honoria)
She moves through these halls
Touching each one of us
With words of encouragement
Support
Honesty
Beauty
Our cheerleader
A woman of exceptional
Graciousness and kindness
I’m refreshed and renewed
After her visit
And every now and again
She will post a poem herself
Showcasing her extraordinary talent
We’re given a glimpse into the elegance
That is her mind
Selfless
Altruistic
Generous
Her own profile is all about us
I’m honored when she visits
I’m honored to read her
Our Honoria
I live on a planet filled with people
That have far too many excuses to not care
I’m comforted to know
That I exist in halls where she does
Touching each one of us
With words of encouragement
Support
Honesty
Beauty
Our cheerleader
A woman of exceptional
Graciousness and kindness
I’m refreshed and renewed
After her visit
And every now and again
She will post a poem herself

A Rhyme Along for Sir Solomon
Solomon_Song and his perfect rhymes
Will put a smile on your face every time
He’s quick with the trivia too
I don’t know about you
But I look forward to his review
Of my poems
‘Cuz I know know he’ll bring it home
With a poem of his own
He’s generous with the compliments
Quoting his favorite elements
Of what you’ve written
I’m quite smitten
With his fine qualities
And the way he rhymes with ease
This long-standing poet on DUP
Has been very supportive of me
Walking with me on my journey
I couldn’t be more grateful for his presence
This man of great substance
If I had to say it in one sentence
What I believe to be his true essence?
He’s da bomb

Vitamin D (Duende)
She’s the bones you can’t break
Her vulnerability
Stronger than Hercules
Her quest for healing
Inspiring
Her poetry astounding
Honesty and bravery
Riveting
Her word play is out of this world
Instantly attracted to her aura
I knew my life would never be the same
I’m fortunate to have her in my corner
Encouraging me
Getting me ready for the fight
Bandaging my cuts
Soothing my bruises
Giving me the motivational words I need
Then softly pushing me to get back in the ring
(in the way only she can)
She’s taught me how to strengthen my bones
Besides all that…
My day is complete
When I see her name in my updates feed
I head on over to her page
To get my dose
Of Vitamin D
Her vulnerability
Stronger than Hercules
Her quest for healing
Inspiring
