What it All Boils Down To

Neville

What it All Boils Down To

 

Poetry has become

it seems

but one of our new

many sins ..

Each tiny paper note

pinned fresh

to some elsewise

virgin page ..

Each single letter

unique

in its own write,

becomes alive ..

Depicting

as it does, exquisite

yet still

inexcusable guilt

and yes, sublimely ..

Now etched

upon the minds of those

free wretches

and shackled kings divinely ..

    Ha - you express so well the writing addition Nev. and I for one am guilty as charged. Poets world over love virgin pages for their sinful urge to leave unique marks. One for my faves as a witty reminder that I too have long needed that same daily fix.............x

      ............................... I had a hunch you might get here first dear Fay .... I just knew you would get that withdrawal feeling we seem to share ............................................ a mere thanks aint enough under the circumstances 🙂 x

      The intense sin….the darkest crime…the love of ink stabbing the paper beside…spilling all over as the ink flows….such a grave crime but words so well stringed pleading the poet’s guilt….very skilfully crafted piece dear Neville….a thousands applaud

        'Depicting
        as it does, exquisite
        yet still
        inexcusable guilt

        (I can't help but wonder
        how many thousands of write's
        were binned, by impassioned obstinacy
        in your strive, to accumulate
        such wordsmith skill
        for flawless, flow
        and seamless, rhyming dexterity
        in your, irresistible: Poetry!)
        I simply bow, to your inking Mastery, my friend

                As the book says. I sin seven times a day. Or is that pee overnight? I can't keep up

                  If poetry is a sin, we are all going to burn in hell. Probably worth it though. Since I'm just getting back onto this hellbent wagon your poem struck a chord.
                  You may have explained the attraction this writing uses to possess us all. It may truly be the letters and words upon the white paper. For what other common denominator is there since the ideas are so varied and unique. So rom one "Shackled king" to another, Keep It Up. - Phil A.

                  • Neville

                      Your description is masterful. Such a pleasure to read. I am trying to do better by reading more poems; perhaps join a course too. Thank you.

                      • Neville
