A Poet`s Prayer [contest]

by ghosts in bloom   Oct 20, 2008


A poet uncensored is soulife untamed,
Breath unleashed on scrolls hand written.
Life's ink-bled hands paint courage --
Designing linear thoughts
On a map of convicted and flexible limbs.

Strong Similes outline smiles,
While Assonance accounts for character.
Cadence carries action slightly above
The silver lining of Symbolism's body.

Living language: love in action,
Palpable and unconditional.
Letter's vision enhancing expression,
To render words acquainted
With one accord to all alive.

It is a poet's prayer to perform the marriage
Between Reality and its professed Dreams.
