To Write a Thousand Po’ems and Keep One
The passion that l've had became an art,
And ever since the po’em l first penned
About a teenage love that broke my heart,
My lovers have been poets, as I tend.
For some, they had retired from a curse,
From lack of inspiration, dusk to dawn.
But felt the fi’re once they read my verse;
And this in honor of a writer’s swan.
A thousand have l written over time,
About each one l've let into my bed.
A staple of a passion’s flow and rhyme,
All through a love’s relation am I lead.
To know the sun sets always in the West.
From art of common air are legions spun.
And in the midst of passion, I invest
To write a thousand po’ems and keep one.

There's so much truth in this Dear Jade. Every poem we write is part of our history, good and bad they live within us, its like picking our favorite child, we end up loving every one of them, differently, equally.
Good luck in the comp, i have to check it out.

Thank you so much, dhyana. What a wonderful reception to my piece.
It’s a soul’s satisfying feeling to have another poetess sister relates so perfectly in a language we relate to beyond the every day.

Nobody kisses like a poet. I hope you find your one true true rhyme.

truth spoken for each word we write is merely an refection of events taken from our own lifes journeys travels and walks, people we encountered folks we loved even those who hurt and those we hurt us each poem carries a message of where weve been and gone its our journal of our footprints upon the sands of time nicely composed poetess...respect

Why thank you, dear Stoney, so good of you to summarize the process of poetry —
“footprints upon the sand”
There’s your title for a poem about this! Will you do it?

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I think each piece you may have written about them carries a lot of memories and some secrets which you'll never tell.
Well done Ms. Jade

Merci ma bonne fille...
Often when I write, I let myself float on my mind’s words as a cloud, or a kite - an ethereal, cerebral experience. That’s close to how I felt while I composed this piece.
Such a wonderful way you’ve described how the experience was for you.💞
