‘Tis with a trusting heart
Upon a poet’s ear I lean
Cause they’re the only ones
Who really know what I mean
Like on a conveyor belt
From somewhere deep within
Words destined for poetic birth
Incubation complete and penned
Quite often I’m stopped in my tracks
To me, a thought occurs
Suddenly my mind on alert
With the onslaught of words
“Quick,” said I
“Must write that down”
For in the blink of an eye
It’ll be gone without a sound
Especially in the early morn
How the words seem to flow
Like a swift moving river
To the page it goes
So to you
My sisters and brothers
We’re all poetic siblings
From diverse mothers
A common gift we all share
Respect for the written word
Notions of beauty and wonder
Deep in the heart we heard
With persistence we’ll
Stay up late at night
Or wake from the dead of sleep
All for the privilege to write
I salute you all
Poets of MPS
May your pens never run dry
And your muse never digress

Thanks, AP, but I'm too much involved with writing my own poetry. I do appreciate the invitation, however.
ok Louis, I just didn't want to exclude you. Thanks for responding. ; )
This is a sweet tribute and I'm happy to belong to this community. You wrote this so beautifully. Thanks for writing this and for creating and inspire us everyday.
The circle of inspiration touches all of us malu. And thank you for your compliment and reading. ; )

Oh! Ok, will check it. Thanks
Thank you
AP, you expressed something in your excellent poem that I am sure most of us here feel in our hearts. That sense of belonging and family. While I might still be hesitant to present my writing to the world, I feel comfortable showing it to all of you.
Your poem describes our little group of partners in crime perfectly! Thank you!
Thanks Fred. I know that feeling of not wanting to share my poetry to everyone I know too. But here in MPS it's different. Like I said in this poem,
"‘Tis with a trusting heart
Upon a poet’s ear I lean
Cause they’re the only ones
Who really know what I mean"

Most impressive AP. I really feel a kinship here! Thanks for your beautiful words.
Yes WC, I feel a bond is growing among us poets and respect for one another's writing is everything. Thank you for reading and your compliment. ; )
