A Poet's Beat
Poet...
recite recite at the corner recite
tell your heart with all your might
whispered words can't reach the heart
where wrong is right to write the thoughts
Watch...
verses scratched on flower petals soft
lost, blown by blustery uncaring winds
expressed soft as feathers from birds that fall
floating to earth and travel in routed air
Listen...
if hearts do beat and pen do write
from where sourced the song that's wrung
are they from uncertain muses' lungs
strained in hope to bear the notes
Touch...
feel the scars of burnt and cuts
on history walls within expressed tales
they sing and hum scream in agony
the scripts of poets for perfection seek
Understand
the word and world are seen as one
they live pirouetting animated ballerina
achieving perfection in hopeful visions
creating beautiful flows with exquisite pain.

Okay, Grace you have absolutely have written
a poem of grace and committed poetical whimsy.
"verses scratched on flower petals soft
lost, blown by blustery uncaring winds"
These two lines completely lit up my world and
the rest of the poem supported these two mis-
matched lines. (The subtle act of writing on a
flower petal / to be whipped away by the strong
wind. There are many more deserving lines
which could be quoted. Suffice it to say this is a
very good poem with lots and lots of brilliance
throughout . . .

Hi Scooter...o dear yes they are mismatched eh. I was talking about poems sweetly written for a beloved hence flower petals but circumtances can change and the poem can become meaningless, mere words blown by the wind and be lost in time and space.:) thanks for reading!

A fantastic piece grace. You capture the mind of a poet as though you had just taken a picture. I adore the whole piece, the second and fourth stanza's though are... Well no words to really describe them. This piece made my day truly. Thank you for sharing it.

Hi anonymouslyhere, thank you kindly. The writings of poets are usually inspired by sights, touches, understanding etc. But it is in their own interpretation, some poems and 'masterpieces' are born out of euphoric love or exquisite pain, I think. I tried to express them in this humble poem.

Quite a few very smooth runs in this beautiful spill of poetic thought... Love it! :)
