inside the poem

Frank Prem

what is the inside
of a poem

 

are you there
if you live it

 

do you have to know
or is it
anyway

 

~

 

what is the inside
of your life

 

do you reside
in stanzas

 

must you recite yourself
or are you
because you

 

~

 

your image has
a lyric flow

 

your life is rhythm
rhyme

 

your world
the driven cadence

 

how is it
living
on the inner side

 

come read to me

 

your life
aloud

 

~

    A little beauty Frank.

    • Frank Prem

      Thanks Michael. Sometimes they work.

    • Goldfinch60

      Our life transferred to words, good write.

      • Frank Prem

        Much to reflect on, isn't there, GF?

        Good write Frank. I will come sing to you, but you won't like it. The words may be OK, but who can bear me singing them?! heehee.

        • Frank Prem

          Hi O. We'll have to set up yodeling as a treat.

        • Accidental Poet

          A very interesting write Frank. And all your poems work Frank.

          • Frank Prem

            Thanks AP. I'm delighted you're still enjoying them.

            • Accidental Poet

              No reason to stop enjoying them. ; )

            • Louis Gibbs

              To me, a poet who expresses other than that which is inside him, is simply creating hollow jingles and rhymes. You could hardly fall into that category, Frank. Your work consistently excels as true poetry, and I so appreciate it!

              • Frank Prem

                Cheers O. With talk like this, you'll be required to read more, you know. It just works out like that.

              • Fay Slimm.

                Good questions Frank in this gem of a read. As most poets will say and I too that we all "reside in stanzas" when sleep evades.

                  And that happens all too often.
