Poet Introduction
I'm not for everyone.
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

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...

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...

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

Keep Swimming (moony_)
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 ...

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

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

Men
Beneath your feet
Declared
You sultry-sweet
Your petals
Opening elegantly
For all you have lost

300 Yard Dash (FATBOY300PLUS)
The finish line looms
Yet he isn’t in a hurry
His strut
Solid
His love of words
Women
The coming up
Of the younger generation
As he reflects
And imparts
His wisdom
Solid
The world needs more men
Who are men
Unafraid to say
What’s in their
Hearts
On their
Minds
With the respect
Humility
Patience
And straight up
Truth
That is He
Saying it
How it is
Because that’s
Who he is
Aggressive
Affection
With that ...

My Not So Little Debbie (deliabear)
More
Than a site sister
United
In more than pain
Surviving
Deluges of
Wind and rain
She rises
The imagery
Of her words
Dazzles
Transports
Momentarily
I am lifted
Her gift
Transcends
Time
Space
Reason
I am there
Invited
Into her journey
Traveling
Side by side
Arm in arm
Sister
And
Sister
Because
She
And her words
Are
Indispensable ...

Beer and Cake for Betty
Her ferocity
has been
the shield
for her fragility
My girl, Betty
Her talent oozes
drips right
off the page
as she applies
her makeup
to cover her
heart bruises
her body and words
weapons of destruction
sisters in solidarity
in this war of
love, lust and trust
some days it feels like
the end of us
but carry on
we must
The battlefield
strewn with bodies
battered and bloodied
her white flag torched
My girl, Betty
heart in tact
defeat...

Flutter By LittleDragonFly
Laced with joy, sorrow and pain
her words
the map of an adventurous soul
take us to destinations
unknown
And I, my heart
travel weary and worn
find solace
in her ability
to confess
while professing
she will not
reveal all
leaving just a little
for us to wonder
if her stories are real
or just a tale
that's tall
I often wait
for her next trip
For the words
that will
take my mind
places exotic
and poetic
I long
to be wherever
she roams ...
