the life of poetry
poetry dies one word at a time
while your muse is quietly singing
& you ignore her song
shut it up, bottle it tight
because it's foreign music
notes you don't recognize
until you find yourself slightly swaying
to it's hypnotic beat
with a knowing of the words
as they come alive on the page
a brand new creature
is born into the world
though you can't mother it
from birth it has a life of its own
touching peoples minds
& entering their souls
becoming a part of who they are
this is when poetry's magic happens
when for an instant
someone is captivated
a recogntion of a thought or feeling
it germinates in another poets being
& is given birth to again
then brand new feelings are stirred
as we move one another
a poem at a time

I love the idea of giving birth to poetry then allowing it to leave the nest. It can have a life of it's own, shaped by those who read it. This is marvelous write Lady Crim!

My Beautiful Brenda, I don't believe there has ever been one poem you've written thats "hasn't" moved me...you are the definition of magick for so many reasons, some of which I fear you don't even know of...the muse always knows and we must learn to always listen...I'm so glad that you do...you birth emotions and recognition within me every single time...
I love you madly, deeply my love
yours always & forever

This speaks to me on one of the my favorite plains. Indeed our poems are our children, sent out into the world to either fly or flounder on their own merit. But, even those that fall and die may at times spark another that soars high and long.
This one has soared my fine poetess and is destined to continue so.
Well done and much enjoyed.
