What Is It About Her Poetry

What is it about her poetry

That holds me in its spell

Is it her rhyme in metered time

That draws me in so well?



Or is it the words she chooses

To place upon the page

That builds the tower where stands her power

To exact from me this wage?



She always speaks of Mother

The one to whom I'm son

And it's so clear that I do hear

What her words have begun.



She is an able gardener

Who makes the flowers grow

Throughout the gift through which I shift

To see her colours flow.

This is beautiful. I swear, if it wasn't for the words
that I see at this website....I'd have next to a meaningless
existence. *trying to explain*.....I see words that I write,
and they all depict my moods and fears and wishes....when
I see other's 'moods' and fears and wishes....I feel something
like a kinship...am I making sense yet? LOL I'm glad there
are people like myself in this world....I'm not alone. =O)

Wonderfully poetic in its imagery, this, I believe is my favourite stanza. Beautiful work!

Michael, I had hoped to find something new here today, but I was not prepared for the wealth I've found. These verses are a treasure and as always I leave your page refreshed and inspired. Thank you.
