~ A Poet's Passion ~
It is far into a poet's passion
Through years, tears, torments, and lacerations
Ripping through to hidden wounds and conflagrations
Where, laying in the depths of puddled introspection
Swim languages and books of unwritten reflections
With piles and piles of 'pink slips' and rough rejections
With characters developing new and daring directions
Where the ego goes to play with a whispers deafening silence
And shyness tortured into arrogant attempts at greatness
For, it is indeed, within the nuances of a poet's passion
Where creativity is pushed to the brink of insanity's attraction
As songs come floating in on rainbows of light's refraction
Words become a means of prompting self expression's voicing
Rejoicing, ever-so-subtly, in observations overflowing
Forcing the poet's pen to take truly inspired action
To take that which confronts him
And deliver it most mightily with the power of said passion
Then,
Combining it with the foragings
Brought from foundations of writers long ago
And bringing it to light
With the beauty
In today's, and yesterday's,
Passionately,
Poetic,
Glow...
Tony Taylor

Awwww yes writing and creating keeps me out of mischief & its been an absolute Gods blessing for me in these lockdowns penning Beautiful Mother nature etc 💕❤️💕💙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tony, Wow! So many great lines to choose from.
Great lines that tell it how it is and forever will be when writing.
And the key, most magical word is passion.
The love of the game we all respect and so love to play, be it good or not so good.
The eternal game called poetry.
Infuriating, demanding and heart-breaking it can be, but also giving, graceful and uplifting, but above all, always respected and forever loved.
And that is what I see not only in this poem Tony but all your poems that I have read so far, beautiful poetry that shines and is flawless by a dedicated master of the craft.
Thank you good Tony and I agree with Jim's comment closing line.
Respect, honour and kudos to you sir and long may you reign.
