Poetry is….
One
of those moments
Fixed in a stream of flying….
'Lonely
wakeful night'
'Grey
dark clouds; continual rain outside'
'a
dressing gown hung on the door'
'a
clock ticking … and his confused longings '
'Frosty
beads poised on a chilled mojito glass'
'Me,
warm after a bath…luxurious, scented bedroom'
'The
feel of the soft pillow on my face'
'The
muffled sound of a t.v downstairs'
“things
have ends(or scopes)…and what follows
….assist
comprehension of process” Ezra Pound
Every
poet finds his or her own muse
-
that irresistible silhouette
draws
a verse-maker towards the
accessible, obtainable, understandable light
It’s
an invitation to connect…
with the fluid world;
Prosaic
otherwise…
Words
go hither and thither
do most of the writing,
or
to get it to the point
Working on a poetry
is pure JOY…

DeleteWow, Panchali. This poem is pure magic. The 2nd paragraph is so amazing that I read it many times. Beautiful beautiful beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a huge huge compliment. You just made my day, thanks, Purba :)
DeleteYes, this is the journey........I love your words that do most of the writing. So often, it feels this way. So well expressed, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry!! Your comment just made my day... :))))
DeleteIt is nice when they have a mind of their own,
ReplyDeleteand you are just racing to keep up with them, trying to absorb all
the detail. A moment of flight, indeed.
Thank you, humbled with your comment, x!!! :)))
DeletePoetry is….
ReplyDeleteOne of those moments
Fixed in a stream of flying…. even if you'd ended the poem there I still would feel completed sated. So lovely
Humbled...thank you, George! :) Hope to see you more on these pages...
DeleteAmen. When I cannot write, it is usually reluctance to hold something still from the streaming. When I can, much joy follows.
ReplyDeleteTrue that!! Thank you, Susan. Hope you are doing well...
DeleteLuv that you worded the joy factor
ReplyDeleteMuch love...
Thank you, Gillena... :)
DeleteThis is a wonderful read and I have to agree the second paragraph is inspirational in itself as the reader conjures up a story behind each set of words.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Robin. .. good to see you here always! :)))))
DeleteYes, poetry is definitely an invitation to connect; and I am so happy to have connected with you. (Smiles.) And, yes, we each find our own muse...or perhaps it is the same muse that we call by different names!

Thanks a ton for the encouragement....means a lot to me, Hank. :))
DeleteIt was pure joy to read this poem. I like its sensitivity and, of course, it resonates with me - that pure joy of writing a poem.
ReplyDeleteI am happy you could relate to this, Myrna... thanks so much for reading. Humbled.:))))
DeleteI like your reference to the quotidian aspects of life representing joy....soft pillows cocktails, hot baths ,muffled tvs but my very favourite was the dressing gown hanging on the door...it add a humanity to the whole piece....really enjoyed this one !
