Poetry is the soul going through
a series of metamorphosis
woolly bear caterpillars
orange/black on a journey
to transformation
Poetry is evolution of the heart
escaping nets of reality fluttering
on fanciful tiger wings searching
for the "true" meaning of love
for the "true" meaning of love
Poetry is a tadpole swimming
fluidly in the mind gradually
developing limbs and lungs
emerging on land in new
form
Poetry encompasses the spirit
of the dragonfly- keeper of
dreams - words crawling out
of the darkness sprouting
winged verses - ballads
of new beginnings flying
planes of enlightenment
Thank-you for reading

I am not feeling well
but, my muse kept
calling me..
The ballad of a new beginning can sure bring forth much, as long as the old's tune doesn't drag it down. Hopefully the germs go away soon.
ReplyDeleteha - I think it requires a new melody.
DeleteLovely metaphorical poetry. (I hope you're feeling better soon).

ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry!
DeleteI like the description of poetry as the evolution of the heart and the keeper of dreams sprouting wings.
ReplyDeleteHi Frank, What kind of wings would you sprout?
DeleteYou listened to your muse, looked carefully around, and found inspiration in your metaphors. This poem is exactly what it does. Great response to the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI literally looked around and saw a caterpillar and dragon fly outside. Thanks for visiting.
DeletePoetry is you and the words you weave!
ReplyDeleteI saw a woolly caterpillar the other day.
Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, True. Hope you are better soon.
ReplyDeleteYour muse was spot on:)
I love what poetry can do... and yours did. I hope you feel better soon.

Poetry is definitely a growth mechanism for me-similar to meditation.
