Dear Kindred Writer
Perfection means there's nowhere else to go,
And if you think you've reached its lofty ranks
You'll need to daily prove as time will show.
Within our minds we hear a different song,
I'll want to dance a heady waltz with you
And twirl you off the page we stand upon.
Embrace a spell or faith, destroy a curse;
A poet writes to die and live again,
This process brought about within a verse.
It all depends on how you will express,
To be an Epoch tale or Senryu;
Be sure to use the form that says it best.
This humble sage to share my kindred side,
With thanks I here conclude in cordial bow
Your pen's salute & love with ink supply xo

I really felt this poem
Perfection is totally overrated. It's lonely at the top of your game
All the bumps and bruises along the way are your success in the making and that's the celebration, that you are doing the work .....

I love that this is the last of your WriMo entries...
Rather than giving us a convocation, you give invocation - I am reminded of the end of the Episcopal services I attended as a child - "Now go in peace to love and serve the Lord" to which the congregation responded "Thanks be to god!"
What a great run it's been, glad we both crossed the finish line...

Many thanks, dear thomas, for sharing such a reminisce with me, that helps me see even more clearly the effect of the spin I took for my outgoing entry. I love getting such feedback. And yes, crossing the line together at the end, both of us stronger for it as it was last year. ~queen T

*warm hug* Ohh thank you so much, dear Katja! And yes, those who think they've arrived will never learn to grow. I've never believed in perfection because I want to always strive to be better, and one can't learn how when they think they've reached it. xo

What a great poem with which to end NaPoWriMo; and congrats for making it. "The ceremony is over, and a new one is about to begin". :)
Thank you so very much, dear Josh, for your kind words & appreciation! You were incredible in the NaPo, being one of only two who stuck to one specific poetic form. My personal congratulations...

Impressive work, Jade, your poetry has so many shades.
'Die to live again,' a poet's creed...

Thank you so much, dear Kasai. You honor & bring that creed to life often in your own beautiful works.

Jade, I really enjoyed this write.
"It all depends on how you will express,
To be an Epoch tale or Senryu;
Be sure to use the form that says it best"
This stanza resonates. Form is so important in how one chooses to express their thoughts on the page to best represent to the reader the emotion, image, or even conclusion they wish to convey. Much of poetry is about interpretation of the reader/listener, but there is a real significance that is often overlooked: the intention of the writer, and how well that is communicated.
Thumbs up.

Thank you so very much, Fizzle, I really appreciate you stopping by to embrace, share & express - it's really made my morning. And yes to everything else you stated about how it should be between writer/poet and reader/listener, because I know of the association so well. All the best to you, dear reader!
