"The poet is the sayer, the namer, and represents beauty. He is a sovereign, and stands on the center. For the world is not painted or adorned, but is from the beginning beautiful...." (Emerson)
The intuitive Writer
Upon the paint of day,
I feel the sunrise
Its warmth, in yellow
Its cool, in gray
Like, in colors
The sunlight hands me ways
To create the day,
That I might
Elongate,
What may be portrayed,
Or poetically
Conveyed,
Or sculpted in clay
Or (perchance)
Artfully,
Assuaged...
Upon the brow of night,
I can sense the stars
Foretell, the coming
Of other life
So, like visions,
These windows paint insights
And
Like snowflakes, they alight
Softly,
In my minds eye
Where,
In due course, they ignite
And
Blossom into,
That,
Which I write...
I simply cannot explain
How, I feel sunrise
Or sense the stars
Perhaps, like Twain
I simply must,
Or risk going insane
For, like many who create
I awake
Each day,
And the very first thing
I think to myself
Is,
What can I write
This God-given day,
To help my ever-mounting
Pain,
To Melt,
Away...

This does depict some poet/ess's view of the world.
Thank YIYAN!!......smiles......T xo : )
Tony! This is an absolutely fantastic write. Definitely one of my favourite Tony Taylor poems of all time.
It paints an almost perfect picture in my head of the feeling I have when I am pondering on what inspires me to write...and what subject to write about.
Very relatable....Awesome!! - Syd xo
Why Thank You most kindly SYD!!,
I was pretty happy with this as it came pouring out of me.....I think it needs one re-write...as with all my poems I'll wait a couple months and then come back and do a final edit......but in all honesty it came out REALLY easily.....the more you write the easier it becomes to determine what your VOICE will be....I seem to be honing my chops now.....Thanx again for this brother!!.....I appreciate it!!......Peace n Stuff!!......T xo : )
It does flow like inspiration! enjoyed!
Thank You JIM!!.....ALWAYS a pleasure brother!!.....Peace n Stuff!!..T xo : )
Awwww Sheer Pinned Brilliance as ever 💙
Brilliance huh?.....Isn't interesting how loosely that word is tossed about?.......regardless, I am so pleased you associated it with this poem!!.....Hugs n Smiles.........T xo : )
Seems like a train of thought to me reads like it too, still so excellent. How you manage it I have no clue, but I always enjoy reading time. Kind regards. All the best to you Tony! The Fish of the Sea.
Thanx dear brother FISH!!!....and YES!! ~ it IS a type of "Stream Of Consciousness" write.......but it has VERY specific rhyme scheme qualities driving it home........as you dig a little deeper into the obvious you will see it for what it is......a basic and clever delve into what it means to be a writer!!......smiles......Your Friend & admirer......T xo : )
