Plato and Poetry

Image
Plato banished poets  would not be happy seeing so many writers thinking   and writing poetry Poets, writing are not fighting nor are they blasting nor putting innocents to eternal sleep Poets Tempted by inspiring prompts may repair wrongs in lives and lines making people strong poets…. change lives for the better

For Victoria C Slotto ~ dVerse Meeting the Bar ~Word Artists, Grab a Brush and Write!– ~ Treasure Hunt In The Sea ~

Oh so brazen audacious Gold, floating in glorious celestial spheres now visible now disappeared Is it poetic art of the mystic sonneteer or the work of the mischievous Kobold? What pirates of the Carribean  may eye it to loot daring to  slash the seven headed  sea serpent brute ? Pieces of Eight -Pieces of Eight! Long John Silver may say- as you glitter blend and  sway   unfold from thunder ebonic to  flaming flying flashing furious forms from deep stokehold darkness to fiery storms Lo behold, marigold in the open seas moving, trailing the Master Wardens No one knows how many miles you travel carrying the  lightest load, you unravel mysteries of life, reflect the Supreme Power remain unsold precious and cool no one can steal nor collect in a pool endless vapours hot flares creating energy Giving  all in  unlimited un measureable shower'

For POETS UNITED ~ Midweek Motif ~ Swimming ~ 'No Ropes On The Skies ' ~

I seek, learn, I find, I wish to reach fears do not restrict nor the physique  Mortal being, dust in water, making way,on a divine path, growing moving against winnowing wind, stable, on stretched out expanse,yet folded  in curves.particles myriads, sand, like waves, low and high in dunes rising settling  flying dispersing clouding rolling covering grease golden blackish floodwater beneath  moving in circles in oceans, seas or in circles same, like a star encircling or like fish in water organized, gliding  winged, small light colored or black flapping in self. gliding forth and back  a movement divine, see  the Glory the Power The Sign  the rising of the sun and the decline swimming in a limit, within a time divided unseen there, here by a rope in line no ropes on the skies no rift or drift suspended in glory each in its own shift  'All in an orbit are swimming' .......

For POETS UNITED ~ Poetry Pantry 225 ~ Once Again I see All In Nothingness

Image
Once again a cold mist surrounds Grey dull  darkness makes the light Thin bare branches stretch out tight bracing the long wintery wait with the trunk stuck deep aground; Once again I see All , the same Life is a game Of time Of love  Of words Of rhyme; Once again I see rainbow  twinkles  in those dark eyes Once again I see Him  The Supreme  with the fleeting glance  He made  All  in His own  image I see Him when I see  All  and I wonder- How close is He, in a smile in the eyes- No one knows how time flies  Once again I know He sends love  From the Heavens above The spirits are one  with words Formed in flowing thoughtful poetry- Once again there is emptiness but I see All in this Nothingness Once again a cold mist surrounds Once again I see All , the same                                     ...

~ Random Thoughts in Oblivion ~

Darkness engulfs when eyes are closed sleep like death drowns in oblivion nothing felt nothing  perceived in unknown lands the spirit slips flying amid visions, hours uncounted,  flying in spaces in gorges steep    who thinks in heart and mind,calls a trance strange, casts a pall, move and turn consciousness recalls  open eyes to feel alive its the same  silence broken by a dog's bark  bed chair cover  blanket and walls four days away with broken links what thoughts flow what one may play missing someone? Oh do not say... come finish the tasks that you must you have faith with truth and trust sincere intent  love  pure and just judge not O heart you do not know other than what words may show be true, write true  make hope flow Words are sacred words are holy words guide words are company  words are  comfort words are lovely words first make the way to l...
