Power in a Poet's Words

You Sexy Lady always have the power within your words......no matter the write......I enjoyed this a lot as usual......purple luv & hugs xo :)

hey flower, thank you hun....we all have power in words when used right. I appreciateya!  xo

The power to vent, to split, to fuse, to excite and shut down....all in a poets work...though you were trying to leave me lol!!!! :) PS posted a collab with LokiOfLiterati ..trying to get my flow back!! :)

....emotions in motion = poetry. ;) Thank you Shell, being missing you! Happy to see you around more....

-and you know I already checked your new ink out.... :)

Amen ...you have captured the true meaning of poetry my beautiful souled friend....once again i bow to you :)

.....curtsey bow to you sir. ;) Thank you T! Adore that she made your list....

Power indeed but at the same time we are vulnerable wearing our emotions on our sleeve.
But all in all, its the only way we know how to express and its our therapy.
You captured everything we are all about and more, wonderful ink Ms. Rain, i much enjoyed your poetic pen.

...and I think that's when poetry is so potent; when we're vulnerable, when we undress our thoughts and our emotions are exposed. It also showcases our strength and courage to be so defenseless, so unprotected, and naked, all while having a strong voice through words. So happy you enjoyed, jasmine..... :)

damn rainy lady, i'm sort of dumbstruck really ltm
sort of the same effect that robert frost quote always has on me
“A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong,
a homesickness, a lovesickness.”
^^^^^^
then you have to make others feel it with you ...
... which you do over {&} over again
loved this
xo

....if I left 'you' speechless,....then my objective has been met. I can pack my shit and go home now; shows over,... because you are truly a poet that is hard to silence. :) Thank you beautiful....

Ahhh, Rain, luv ~ :-*

The way you write about poetry is incomparable. Each time you explore the topic I find you compelling, riveting, astute.

Your exploration of poetry from initial thought to pen to poet to presentation and aspects, nuances in between is eductive and extraordinary.

Thank you for sharing all you do, luv. You and your brilliance are deeply appreciated. :-*

....hey there Savaja, ya know I'm cool with a one sentence response, right?! ;)  Love your energy through commentary though. Thanks for the supportive response... xo

I know, luv. :-*  

And, I thank you so very much for reminding me to take care of myself.

You are a gem.

easy to become beguiled by a poem's lushness,
when it's right there naked on the stage...

Very easy, especially when the image is vivid and the emotions are tangible. A smile always spreads across my face when I see you knocking at my front door. Thanks John!

The jury has spoken n you my dear are GUILTY... As being poetically BRILLIANT!!! Still packin that impact of a first time read :)

.....well thank you hun, you've taught me well.... ;) Appreciate ya!

My dear Tara, thank you for describing me and my writing so perfectly, lol. Actually, this poem is perfect. It makes me wish I were a time travelling plagiarist so I could take this poem back with me and post it before you wrote it to claim it as my own. How terrible of me to steal from you. I would be overwhelmed with guilt. So I must be satisfied with being deeply moved by your words and allow you to be moved by the words of praise and admiration of your fellow poets who all recognize each line and every perfectly placed word of this self portrait as a masterpiece of verse that each of us wishes we had been the poet that penned it. There is not one syllable that did not move me in this work of art!
JJ

lol....but it's the truth JJ. This ink describes many on here.(you're definitely one of those poets I'm speaking of. ) It is a revamped piece from back in 2013. I felt like revisiting it with aged eyes and a deeper appreciation for who we are as poets, and what small changes can occur via written language.    
I just love your comment! You always leave remnants of your charm behind whenever you stop by. Adore you... and thanks for keeping her. xo

Sonsista, there most certainly is power behind all words (as you and I have discussed at length) and we can encapsulate them all in the most beautiful and passionate ways...in honesty with fear and vulnerability, in the unknowing of how they will be received...something which you do magnificently.

Pen salute and deep respect always -
Your Lady T xoxo

I agree 100% Lady T! Your comment was spot on! Poetry is such a beautiful way to express ourselves and when others are feeling the vibrations in our words, they can be used as tools to get through certain life situations that may be difficult for them. (we are lyrical motivational speakers. HA!)  Thank you.... :)

You embody this power beautifully with both passion and skill.

"We ink the symphonies of strife, quill the orchestras of our life
and unbeknownst to us,  
we have become oracles for readers and listeners  
who sit in quiet calm to read our words… "

The poet inks his emotions with as much skill as he or she can then hopes for the best.  It can be a catharsis that others identify with, and that's a reward for both the writer and reader.  It can be an intimate and rewarding exchange.  Fine work Rain!  

I concur Crow! We pen our thoughts and emotions in hopes of pushing and lifting ourselves, not knowing the positive effect our words have on others. Thank you for the visit....

So speaks for us here whatever our favourite topics.

Thank you S_Song! That was definitely the point. It's great seeing you in my area code... and I appreciate the listing  :)

HellaGood! Fantastic in so many ways. and absolutely true. You are a genius

Wow 3P! Totally not a genius, but since you're giving out the title, I'll happily wear it for a few hours. lol.... Humbled, thanks!

Beautiful Ode to a Poet, Rain.

Thank you so much Ahavati....  :)

yes indeed i definitely witness the power in a Poet's words right here... what a beautiful gem you created... you're phenomenal Tara :D

*blushing*
So pleased you could feel my words, Magic! You're too kind sir, and thanks for listing her. Appreciateya! :)

Rain, this is simply divine.. the trials of living a poets life.. sorry poetess as well.. an enigma we are.. into the list it goes.. nicely done..


Dave

Dave, you have just ended my night on a soprano note. I've been waiting on your presence to grace my page for quite some time now, and I'm elated by the visit. Thank you sir, and appreciate you keeping her.... :)

yep, this is so sublime i'm speechless, but everything everyone above said, go goddess...

....thanks luv..... appreciate your eyes resting on her. Thanks for keeping her...

The words look so natural as if they always belonged on a page!

Oh I love that Jazz......and they do. Poetry is quite powerful! Thanks luv.....

Yes!! Yes!! & Yes!!! and you captured what a poet is and the effects our writes can have on the readers... We pen pieces that grip the emotions of those that are quietly listening or reading and they wonder wow! how does she know, I can relate so well to what she is saying..... They feel our emotions because lyrically we paint the picture with words with imagery and we transport them to that moment in time where scene by scene it plays out in their mind... I absolutely love this.... It's also our way to release but people don't realize that when our words get trapped in our head and we can't find the way to transcribe them on paper their is a dying inside that words can't express because writers block is no joke... That's what I have been dealing with the past few years writers block and the words so desperately needs to seep out more then once in a while.... Enough of my long winded comment... Bottom line I absolutely loved it....

Wow BSavvy! You really put some thought and detail into your comment and it's quite refreshing to receive. I completely agree with every single word.
Thank you for the amazing comment...and cyber listing her. Appreciateya immensely! xo

Amen! Your words illicit a complex arraignment of thoughts when one writes their heart out! Bravo!
