Poetry is....

Goldfinch60



Poetry is,
The words from my soul leaving my body

Floating through the ether,

Free for all to see,

Free for all to read.

Showing that peace in the Universe

Can be there for all.


Poetry is,
Finding peace within my escape from reality.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Fred Peyer invited me to take part in a Fusion Poem "Poetry is..". This is an extended version of the stanza that I wrote for it. The music is the track "Infra5" from the album "Infra" by Max Richter a composer that really speaks to me fro the silence.

    Good write Gold. I suspect a lot of your (and maybe many people) IS from reality, real situations, experiences, etc.
    My pork pies and sherry land is unreality! Or is it?! heehee.

    • Goldfinch60

      Your unreality has been there for millennia Orchi.

              Wonderful piece, it's amazing that we all have different reasons to write poetry but it can all come down to the same core principle.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you pb, poetry is written for many reasons but as you say it all come down to one core principle.

                  I love the last line, Goldfinch! Wonderful. It's a great poem as a whole too, but the last line resonates with me.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Christine, I am so glad that you enjoyed it and found something within (or should that be without) it.
