Ars Poetica November 24

Poetry
Writing poetry 
gives memories 
to the ones that read
and the ones that write,
connection building invisibly
to all that the world needs them to be.

Picking up the pen almost feels
like a tribute to all the words
I have written before and to those
who have read them unknowingly.

Ars Poetica November 23

Poetry
Pen and Ink

Open a vein

Even in desperation,

Mostly it is the moment you chose the rhyme.



Infinity in a moment

Not a verse forgotten.



Maybe it is just a passing thing…

Or a personal choice,

The reason matters not.

Instead the beauty of the result

Outweighs the problem

Needing a definition anyway.

Ars Poetica November 22

Poetry
To write is but to grant the moment

a chance to immortality,

Each verse a moment written to 

evade the reaper.



Penning immortality

in poetry form,

writing as the reaper voices

eternity.

Poetry
To weave the words

into the poetic art

is a joy beyond...



painting emotion

into verse of the heart

it is often a relief.

Poetry
is the pen
supposed to weigh
for the content it does make?

writing poetry
a spectrum runs 
For love and light
to the dark and heavy .

Why then does the pen weigh more 
for some when writing 
love and light?

Upcoming
