POETRY IS.....RECEIVED BY LISTENING EARS

 

 

POETRY IS.......RECEIVED BY LISTENING EARS

 

 

Displaying solitude of soul

and wanderings of a drifting mind

the poet drinks the ink of thirst

for words that drift and ebb and flow.

 

The mirrored bridge of muse reflects

as lyrics droplets fall and swell

the rhythmic folds of rippled tide

which blend and stir the written words.

 

Inscribed upon the blustering breeze

the flapping sails at water’s edge

applaud the poets prosody

received with praise by listening ears.
