A Letter To All The Poets

Dear poets,

Thank you for your beautiful words

That fly like birds

In the sky,

For when you speak

I smile with glee

For your words are beautiful

To me,

Charles Bukowski

Sylvia Plath

Maya Angelou

William Shakespeare...

These are a few of my

Favorite poets,

Speak to me

Move me freely

Tell me about

Your day,

I would love to hear you

Speak your words

Of encouragement

Every day,

I love poetry

For poetry loves me

And my words flow freely

In my soul,

So thank you

To all the poets

Whose words 

Fly like birds

In the sky...

For what is poetry to you?

Is it a feeling?

Is it a muse?

What is the feeling

That flows through you

Poetically?

I want my words to dance

Across the page,

My emotions and feelings

Matter!

I know this may not make sense

My stream of consciousness,

But happy holidays anyway

For my brain is like mushy pudding...

I love poetry

And poetry loves me,

We love poetry

And poetry loves we...

So play your music for me

And sing your song,

Love me anyway

Even though I don't know you...

I am looking forward

To reading your words

Each day,

Thank you.

Sincerely,

One scatterbrained poet.
