all my ink
i write
in the night
when shadows are sleeping
to keep
tears i weep
from silently creeping
out into the cold
though hardly consoled i
that darkness can bury
the burdens i carry
a poet
should know it
and yet keep a secret
when stunned
by the sun
to choke up and leak it
the old rugged cross
redeeming his losses
balms up the lost creature
who sees no bright future
i bleed
like a seed
sprung by a new morning
whose roots
upward shoot
earth’s tangled web scorning
i carry with me
the locks and the keyring
for hearts badly shaken
by confidence broken
no word
were absurd
that mends up the pieces
for hearts
torn apart
whose sorrows releases
i give all my ink
for those on the brink line
to them all my canvas
who hunger for solace

Thank you, HF.
Your observations go beyond the typically cursory kudos; they are, in fact, instructive. I've never considered the impact of titular interest on the frequency of clicks! Thanks for sharing this notion.
My "all my ink" came from the Divine Inkwell, I suppose. I took up my pen and notebook and, like the paralytic that Jesus told to take up his bed and walk, started to write and the rest followed without much help from me.
I'm happy for the interest it has generated from you and others who have stopped to leave generous comments. You have given a wonderfully detailed analysis that has considered the message, the style, the graphics, and the mechanics. You have even considered the potential for vocal orchestration (spoken word).
I am truly thankful.
Yours sincerely

Let the masses decide!

Hi, Tallen and HF
Thanks for the extended dialogue surrounding the possibilities of my poetry (this particular piece) sounding off in audio!
I did not notice the conversation until just now, because I received no notification or prompt on my pages.
The idea is a great one; the only challenge is that I'm not given to this kind of exposition. If someone would read me, that would be just wonderful, but I wouldn't know where to start looking for volunteers.
I'll keep my mind open to any opportunities to have a reader perform "all my ink."
Sincerely
cab

Thanks for the PM on this Cabcool. You are of course most welcome and I have replied to you there.
To clarify another point, EVERYBODY is welcome to submit their poetry to The Poetcast Project. The podcast is a community project. It certainly has never said that one person is less welcome than another, personal feelings aside.
Hope that clears things up.

I've seen your PM response, Missy, and do appreciate how prompt you continue to be on matters that come to you for consideration.
I will reply there, as well; for the moment, however, I'll just say, I'm not really microphone shy: it's just that my mind is not in a place that makes me ready for this right now.
Thanks for your encouragement.

I bleed like a seed too my dear friend.
Split ink all over paper.
I love this, Cab. Your truth naked - exposed on paper.
Yours,
LostGirl

Hey, LG18
Bleeding is the heart's sincere search for mercy and justice. I know you, too, are full of it, spilling all over your paper. The blood of one martyr can always touch the heart of another: this is common pain, collaborative misery.
Thanks for identifying so poignantly with this -- my naked truth.
The RL add is a super compliment from you that honours me.
