Poetry Everywhere Comments

Rating: 4.9

There is poetry in the air and everywhere even in a stringy hair,
But it has to be in rhythm and rhyme then everyone can share.
This I'd been trying to do in spite of many obstacles in the way,
My heart was filled with desire but my thoughts they always stray.

It's true that there is poetry everywhere... at least there are POSSIBLITIES for poetry everywhere. Almost any item under the sun can be the subject of a poem. I enjoyed reading this.

I saw them in the sun the moon and all the stars up in the sky, I tried to put it in writing but I could not though I knew not why. Then I saw the majestic mountains with mysteries to be told, Their story would remain hidden for my heart was unable to unfold....such a brilliant piece of work! My pleasure reading it time and again dear poet! You have very meticulously comprehended the theme and really made it quite insightful!

Tis clear that I am less gifted with the skill other poets be blessed, But with lots and lots of trying perhaps my flaws can be addressed. Dear Koke, May i, with your permission, make a change? You are gifted, You are blessed, You are humble and egoless, That makes you a wonderful poet! There is poetry everywhere and you are able to see it, There are many who cannot smell the fragrance of poetry! So aren't you a God gifted, sublime poet?

Thanks Geeta, I am just an old man with nary a thing to care Trying to write a little before my mind goes bare A picture painted in words or some humor to share Sometimes I get lucky, when it displays poetic flair But it’s kind comments like yours that kept me from despair

I shall NOT read my previous comments in their entirety. In fact I hardly glanced at them! Favorite lines: The last stanza. But I would place a comma after Why. OR change Why to While. Yes! While' will be much clearer. And NO comma after 'While'. I DO see that I asked,6 months, almost, ago, about using it in a Showcase. I don't recall using it. Perhaps I shall next month unless you send something else; no harm in using it again, especially as it is the 'right' length! Bri :)

You are no less gifted my friend. All your poems capture my heart.. Here is another one.....Sigh...exactly how it is for me many times Loke. Such a perfect poem for those frustrating seemingly elusive heights of poetry construction and all that indescribable beauty waiting to be penned.

I did not read this. First of all, it was chosen by a wayward finger; I was trying to click on another. (poem) . Secondly, this poem already has a bunch of comments, so it doesn't need another (comment) . But since I am here, my friend, I see you recently left some of your cute comments on some of my cute poems thanks; I shall get to them (your comments) some day! Bri :) But I think I CAN be both an atheist AND an agnostic!

You delight me so much and let me say it was a great pleasure to read this beautiful poem of yours that hold rhythm and rhyme. Let me also say, I appreciate poetry that rhymes and poetry that in free verse, though all poetry apparently is free verse. I mean it doesn't have to rhyme or carry any formality or rules. I simply like it all and you are a pleasure to read sir. Loving this poem very much...10 plus.....

I enjoyed your piece! The rhyming was fun and I think we all have poems in our repertoire that speak to the difficulty of writing poetry. But this one flows and it came out spot on. You do have a way with words and a great sense of humor in your writing that I am beginning to appreciate as I read your work. Also, I loved the first line...poetry in stringy hair. You CAN find poetry in basically anything you might observe or imagine. Well done! Thanks for sharing.

I believe poetry comes from the heart and you don't have to rhyme one word if it flows differently. You pen some beautiful words and I must say this poem is amazing.....
