January 2008 Theme ~ "What Poetic Expressions Means to Me"



What Poetic Expressions Means to Me

Looking through the crystal window to life
Into a garden that reaches out the hand of friendship
To touch the hearts of others
With just simple words from my mind
Each day when I take my pen and place it
To an empty piece of paper
Reforming words to touch maybe one lonely soul
Arranging a verse to rhythm and rhyme
Reaching out with the silence of unspoken words
As your eyes reads this story that unfolds

Giving a warmth to place a smile on your heart
And sharing the mystery of the written word
Reading a verse that comes from an emotion
Delighting the crying soul
With endless memories to always behold
Never forgetting the friendships made
Here in this garden of the written word we share

I’m not quite sure the words to use
To describe my little friends,
There’s boys and girl who send sweet poems
To there garden friends

It’s a place to show our work
And make friendships true!
A place to get cheered up
When were feeling blue

A group full of poets
Some old some new
Some share long and meaningful,
Some are short and sweet

But in the end its friendship
That is so dear to me!
