A Poet is a Vessel

when poetry moves me, every once in a while when I'm feeling my senses manipulated by words, I want to sit back and enjoy the view in my mind contemplating where you've journeyed, who you are and what is behind "your" creative conceptions

 ... an awakening moment’s visage of a poet / poetess

A Poet is a Vessel

A poet is a wistfully musing vessel
free flowing creative conduit
burgeoning voluble word artistry
adducing the vast symmetry
beget the universe

artisan fountainhead’s inception in motion
emitting poetic passion; vestage of life journey
oracle gushing, pulsing through written heart
creativity melded and cast in crucible
wellspring cosmic heart and soul

" exemplum" incarnated
from within flesh sheathing
flourishing with rhythm and beauty ,
blossoming forth
~ the medium of poetry ~
