Read to breed the seed that bleeds to feed your need to grow
Lazy greed will impede or mislead the deed you need to know
Life blood spent, present of content drains from veins that spurt and flow
Perfume's scent, love's air bent, pain will vent from a poetic blow
Some write a phrase to get praise but don't appraise another's work
Finding ways to feign malaise, putting delays on reading, they shirk
Take time to look, read a book, feel the hook, no need to go berserk
Shook by what undertook, baptized in a poetic brook is knowledge's perk

lol yes I agree whole heartedly, although I could never have put it like you have in poetic form. You are always a kudos to me.

Love these lines such fun to read out loud 🌹
Teddy you are too kind. Thanks for the read and I image that all those that do read this I will be preaching to the choir so the whole poem becomes a bit ironic. Never the less it just plopped out on the page and I couldn't put it back.
Plop away my friend. 🌹
This poem is powerful and vivid, I love the imagery and rhythm especially how it shows that real growth and knowledge come from effort, not shortcuts. The poetic brook line is brilliant!
Thank you so much for your read and most kind words of support and encouragement they are very important to me and always most welcome
Wow !
So beautiful ! Clever internal rhyming !
Thank you for taking the time to review this piece and for your most kind words they are most welcome and valued
Doh! Me poetic brook ran dry. I dived into it and bumped me head. All meta-wotsit-ly of course - metaphorically. lol.
Thanks Orchi for the read yes a lot of rocks in that brook. Bumped my head on them many times but at least you got wet and and a bath. Appreciate the read my friend
Your poem centers on the power of literature and the importance of engaging with poetry and literature to promote personal growth and understanding. The theme addresses how some individuals tend to overlook or undervalue others' work while highlighting the enriching experience that comes from reading and appreciating poetry.
Thank you Friendship for taking your time to read this poem. Your interpretation is what I had in mind when I wrote this. Yes too many don't read at all now days preferring other activities and don't know what they are missing. Your words of support are always valued.
You're most welcome, my friend.
My God, just the rhyming alone. Did this just flow out or take some time? It looks like it took time, but I can also imagine the muse just having this flow out like live verse! This reads like a ritual...chant, blood, and hammer blows all at once. That opening line grips hard and the flow doesn’t let go…raw, primal, branded straight into the reader. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ A major fave on this one.
Oh...and very fun to "Read".
Sorry. I couldn't resist! 🤣
🤷♀️
Thank you my dear friend for your support. No this one just came out as it is, one of those flows that you can't stop and although a bit silly the muse insisted I post it without revamping it. I deeply appreciate your encouragement.
Powerful and poignant.
Thank you so much Thomas it is appreciated.
Very clever and meaning ful write soren.

A lot of really good rhyms here and a deeper story. Nicely done for sure.
Thank you so much for the review and most kind words of support they are appreciated
ADORATION 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 My dear Soren I love how everything is fluent. There is rhyme and rhythm. Your word choices, “ berserk” just curious have you ever seen someone go beserk???
You stated in your writing that which I’d like to point out:
“Life blood spent, present of content drains from veins that spurt and flow
Perfume's scent, love's air bent, pain will vent from a poetic blow”
This is beautiful.. there a feeling of horror, yet we are referring to poetry, and poetry can be so many genres. Here you’ve managed for me yet I don’t know your particular aim here but I got horrifying, it’s terrifying.
Overall your piece is amazing… well put together, structured 👏🏼🥂✨✨✨
Thank you so much Keyara for your most generous review and very kind words they are most appreciated. And yes I have many times seen some one go berserk having worked with the mentally ill for many years
poetry bleeds to feed the mind...the alliteration is working really well.
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement they are most appreciated
