Andrea, so eloquently written, beautifully put. This write is so much you! Well done-

Andrea, a simple, straight to the point write that is so beautiful done (as always.)

Words are mere
syllables of the
soul,
captivating
creatures,
punctuating
in rhythm
of my heart beat
^^
Love this opening. I can hear the sound of your heart beat as it goes with the rhythm of poetry. Lovely imagery and the way you separate the words in to short, sharp bursts make it more exciting and like the rhythm of the heart beating as it reads something as enthralling as this..

You see me
scribbling tears
crossed a tree that has
spared its life so that I
may express mine
^^
Beautifully put.

It's a rebirth
of nature-
preservation
of earthy emotions
^^
Loved the words you used here and you're right our emotions and rebirthing us as poets (I feel that's what it means anyway)

I've got soil
embedded in
fingernails,
along with
stanzas
that beg
for
forgiveness
^^
Andrea, this is pure genius. The soil embedded in your finger nails show that you've had a stressful life (I think) and that there's a lot of baggage especially with you saying 'stanzas that beg for forgiveness' but it's what makes us who we are today.

Such a free spirited
way to talk about poetry-

yet...

It's is the only way I know how
^^
And you know what it's your way or the highway Hehe :p in that I mean great job!
