Beauty of Poetry

Giant blowing winds like slabs of butter. Meltdown like frozen cubes of ice. Leaves blowing around as trees go bare. I plant my garden of words and watch them bloom. From the beginning of time, people spoke their thoughts. Where words are spoken, people gather round to listen. People have always come to listen to the songs of poetry. Humans have always been fascinated by the power of words. Never has there been a civilization without poetry of words. Poetry comes from something deep inside us all, raw emotions. Words sometimes get bloody like the dying of a red rose. Oh, but isn't a red rose lovely even with all her thorns? Why are some quiet, while others throw words to the winds? Why" for others to read, find pleasure within their soft-pedaled words. The infinite power of words rings out like heaven to me at dusk. Like blossoms on a beautiful tree, words fall like ecstasy. The love of words has always come so easily to me. Confused, but, not for long as our words turn into poetry. Words are the silver lining like piano key's, in praise of poetry. Words to me are like beauty and strength coming together. As we put our words together into songs of poetry. Let us fly along with ancient dragons, and dance among the skies. As PAN comes out to play for us, and we dance the night away. And mingle with the stars and sing our songs to light the night. As she breathes her last breath, it is in the form of poetry. Abandon yourself to the moment, it will become a beautiful memory. 12:55am 4/ 5/ 2013

I liked your garden of words, your many images that you used in your poem. May your word garden continue to grow and produce more songs of poetry. Thanks for reading one of my poems.

Debbie, I really like the word picture you paint here concerning the "Beauty of Poetry." I realized this is one of your older poems and judging from some of your responses below, I guess you didn't think it met a greater expectation that you might have had planned for it while you were writing it. Regardless, your central theme comes through very clearly for me. Sometime changing to another poetic vehicle like a sonnet, a couplet, or a Terza Rima might refocus your message. Enjoyed it! Gary!!

Nice metaphors and good reference to the Gods in this poem! I did once go to a geneological lecture and the scholar said that my last name - Anish - sounded like the name of a small town(shtetl) in Russia. I know my grandfather emigrated form Russia so perhaps it is the case. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Debbie. This is a fascinating insight into the way you feel about all of this writing biz. I am being a little flippant, but you express yourself with such grace and elegance. This work is truly beautiful. You have tapped into a large number of elements within our universe. That takes someone with vision. I love to read your work and will be back soon to see what surprises and sweets are here. Congratulations on your talent.
