Poetic Imagery
Lost in the wondrous mists of our poetry Words glazed to protect their depth and mystery Passions concealed until you glimpse an aside Dig deep and find where they were buried inside
Along the washed beaches of island shores Could these be in the Pacific or perchance the Azores No clues at this moment will I offer to you Preferring you reach inside and form your unique view
For such is the power of word upon mind An image projected in type can easily find A thousand responses from a thousand souls And in writing our poetry such is one of our goals
For images seen in a film on the screen Are ready made for you and not part of your dream But a radio play or book uses words that portray A different result when in your mindscape it plays
So keep seeking the words of the writers themselves Reading and listening stretches minds in itself Couching words into poems and scripts can do such much more Than potatoes gain from watching their screens I am sure......
