THankya! Xo

"We put pen With Paper in times of devastating tragedy,
We just try to make Sense of it,
Maybe we will find clarity in some of these words
Maybe...we will find peace"

What Writers Do....

your words are awesome

We put pen to paper with anything and during anytime. Devastation just happens to take precedence over our joys of life. I'm digging your scribe there, Free! Appreciate the love! Xo

This is one of those, damn it! Why didn't I think of that!? Haha, You captured that magic quite effortlessly on this one. Coaxing us to pen our victories in beautiful bold fonts,
So others can see that giving up, is not an option.

wow this poem puts into words what a lot of us feel but cant express as well as you do in this awesome piece. reading this makes me so proud to be a poet! thanks you for continuing to inspire me!

My favorite line of all time!
 "Unbeknownst to us,
we have become oracles for readers and listeners
who sit in quiet calm to read our words…
or listen attentively to the vibrations of emotions in our voice.
We touch so many....
with simple words"

Okay, your comment alone was worth the 'sweat of my pen's brow' to slave over this ink! :) I can not tell you how humbled I 'am by your words, Raven!
Thank you so very much! Xo
btw.....it's great hearing from you friend...

Damn, I hate it when I'm late on the table...everybody already had said what I need to say! I totally agree with everyone; Rain you really captured the essence of a true disciple of this art we call poetry. Kudos to you my friend! You're one of a kind...the poet of the century!

Vic, I love it when you're late at the table...you pile it on thick, and I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee it! :)
Your last line left my mouth wide open! Damn, how will I ever ink something to top that statement?!
Thank you so very much! Xo

"We disrobe on paper and strip on stage"
dare i do both right now... :D

o-O, :) You're probably nude right now....haha...
Thanks Den....

remind me who's eyes were PG-13 again?

lmbo....Oh hush! :)

Damn Rain with words like this,
"We stitch thoughts that become fabrics of emotions
Cloaked in poetic apparel
from Tailor-made experiences", you can't help but become hook to your words of God gifted poetic style. I'm telling, that is telling your great at what you do. I honor and respect your gifts. Lovely ink my friend, lovely indeed.

Your comment(s)are Awesome.......like YOU!:)

Pen Respect~

The soul of a poet is captured perfectly in this amazing piece of art. I love your mind, it is a pleasure to read your heart, mind & soul in the form of words.  Sincerely, Alicia (EYES-OF-GRACE)

What a beautiful comment, Alicia! Thank You! :) So wonderful to see you...xo

YES YES YES.  This is fantastic.

Thank you so much Silvia! Appreciate your feedback greatly! Xo

Add me to the long list of poets who have decided to keep this one. Every once in a while, we must write poetry about writing poetry. I believe this to be necessary & affirmative.

"We are strength,
courage,
hope and inspirations; in words"

simply stated perfection, that....that we are....that we are.

Thank you!

A most humbling comment, Scraps! :)Truly appreciate your visit.
...and yes, as long as we go back to the root of why we write, our passion for the art will always shine through our words. Xo

Seriously it can't get better than this...hmmm...I bet does with you though... my words don't show enough gratitude and appreciation for your work. Messiah of ink!

Chili, you could say one word to describe my ink and it would be as if you wrote tribute about my work. :) Thankya! Xo

i feel words are bowed to you and pleaded to describe them in appropriate place with infusion of thoughts which is drizzling in mind of poet. to describe the routine of poet & ink of your pen is gifted with feature "conducive to readers heart"describe the altruistic nature of poet.

Thrilled that you enjoyed this and added it, barrie! She's my baby! Thanks lovely one!

I chuckled at your revelation of the posted date. lol...  
I had about 150 poems here and I deleted them all, with the exception of this one, in August of last year, when I deactivated my account. I left this one up because of the content being the reason we all are on this site. Plus, I knew I would one day return to DU and I wanted my favorite girl still standing. She keeps me grounded.  
 
Thank you my lovely friend. Xoxo

...oh and, thanks for keeping her. :)

Amazing work. It insightful, inspiring, and powerful. Very well done.
