PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

when the poet becomes her poem

clearly a crucial point has been achieved

poets long for a higher expression of self

it is a drug that only one's soul can

manufacture

sometimes the poem is even able to write

the poet's point for her

surpassing even pride expounded through

the usual channels of creativity

though how so very strange and silly

all of this must read and seem

in depth careful searching of one's self

helps

but its unity of spirit that regulates the

visionary and all he subsequent dreams

but such inexplicable process can make one's

life seem to dance for one

a seemingly hearty endless jig

the Irish like to weave just such odd small

happen stance into their lively tradtions

and legendary folklore intrigue

and some of it is as commonly known as their

good natured nomes

fickle leprechauns, and wee fairy wigs

why when feeling for myself a wee bit merrily

expectant

I must admit

I tend to covet certain aspects of their

lilting old limericks

and genteel ease

as lively self liberating people

I've found are also a so very loving people

and that lone essence is what so attracts

the more whimsied muse in me................
