Why did I become a PoetTruthfully, the question knocked me off my feet
Like I was zapped by the stun gun,

How can you ‘become’ a poet?
Can you...

Divine Instrument of the SoulIn the silence, I feel it stir, a spark within my fingertips
a gentle nudging, a whispered promise, to bring forth the unseen
the hand, a vessel, a sacred tool, a bridge between the heart and mind

Poet's Note
Giving voice to my dream, my hope, my belief,
Meant silencing doubts who clung like murky mist,

Causing me to kiss...

And speak in verses, raw and without pause.
The city breathes, a living, pulsing beat,
Its heart...

Why I became a poetWhen the sable ink flirted with the quill

Why Poetry
There was no purpose or plan
No mentor took me by the hand

But I know why I became a poet.
To gaze upon an entity
To observe a person
To listen to sounds

Why Did I Become A PoetDoes anyone ask a bird to sing or a rose to bloom?
Does anyone comfort a butterfly in times of gloom?
Reaping nectar is built into a honeybee's instinct.
Aren't thoughts and feelings, like chains of pearls, with...

Contested Meta PoemIn front of a blank page, I sit with my pen,
Writing a poem for a contest again.
With thoughts in a tangle, I ponder and fret,

Why I became a PoetBeyond dry facts, a muse awakens bright,
Poetry's embrace, where hidden feelings write.

Inspiring minds to soar beyond fading time.

An Obsessed Poet
The stream cascades skyward in swirling spate of ebullience
with the dancing shadows of trees swaying entranced.
Tempting topaz dew makes dainty diadem on glinting grass tips,

Bear Cub and ButterflyBlinking away the last vestiges of slumber,
the cub takes a few tentative steps,
her paws sinking into the soft,
loamy soil.
