THE BROKEN

Louis Gibbs

To the observer it

Becomes clear that

Broken people make

The finest artists

 

And contrarily

 

Broken artists

Of all descriptions

Make the finest

Poets.

 

Here's to us all ...

 

The 'Broken'.

    A great tribute indeed - to our merry band of scribes.

    • Louis Gibbs

      Many thanks, Michael. Your contribution to the merry band is well appreciated.

    • FredPeyer

      Thank you, thank you, thank you, Louis, you just put some duct tape on me!

      • Louis Gibbs

        Hope it doesn't take off much hair with it when removed! Your comment is greatly appreciated, Fred.

      • dusk arising

        Im not so much broken as cracked!

        • Louis Gibbs

          Cracked works just as well for a poet, I'm sure. Thanks for reading and commenting, da.

        • Frank Prem

          Cheers, Louis. (Salud!)

          • Louis Gibbs

            Thank you, Frank! Cheers back at you.

            Broken but writing the pain away - a good description and tribute to the finest of poets dear Louis

            • Louis Gibbs

              Thank you, Fay. You, of course, may be the exception to the rule that all great poets must be broken. "The exception that proves the rule", as they say.

              A very fine tribute to all Poets Louis.

              • Louis Gibbs

                Appreciation from such a fine poet as yourself is humbly accepted, Goldie.

              • Accidental Poet

                AMEN to that. ; )

                • Louis Gibbs

                  Glad it resonated, AP! Thanks.

                • Christina8

                  Bravo! A fine write. A great tribute to us all!

                  • Louis Gibbs

                    And a well deserved one, if I do say so myself. Thanks for the positive review, Christina. And thanks for making it a fav!

                  • myself and me

                    Thank you. I find the answer for my puzzle "why I am not a poet?" Because I am still in the process of breaking, not broken yet.

                    • Louis Gibbs

                      Give it a little time ... with any luck, something will bring you to your knees and bless you by breaking you properly! Thanks for your comment, m&m.
