MARCH 2020 SA BALROOP SINGH DAY 7
Ode To Poetry
Time stands still in your clique
Stream of consciousness flows faster
Solitude becomes sweeter
Silent soliloquies speak softly
Imagination soars in your company
Insights find a crystal clear channel
Enlightening moments ignite ideas
You add a calming color to them.
Sunsets lend their hues to my words
Moon breathes life into them
Mesmerizing dawn dons divine light
When you visit my humble abode
You inspire me to look at the clouds
Creative fairies step out and smile
Somber thoughts spill out to greet you
You enthrall them when you meet
You enhance my inner voice
You absorb all my woes
You draw me out of my cocoon
You tell me to keep desires in tune.
You are my perceptive mentor
I was delighted to discover you
Only you could direct me through streams
Thank you for giving shape my dreams.

Poetry is my first love. I like this genre due to its succinct style. It is a painting that gets its hues from words. Just one metaphor can evoke emotions that couldn’t be described in a thousand words.
Thank you Flossie for hosting me today…delighted to connect with you.
It is my honor. Thanks for being here with your beautiful poem.
I love this poem. I would love to use it with my students because there are so many great examples of figurative language in it, and my students struggle not only with identifying them but also understand their purpose and meaning. 🙂
I do, too. It is so evocative.
Thank you so much Yvette, you made my day. Many of my poems use imagery and symbols, you can find more at my blog.
What an incredibly beautiful “Ode to Poetry!” I love this! Thank you for hosting, Flossie!
Beautiful poem! Thank you for stopping by.
Thank you so much Jan, I am glad you liked it.
