A rispetto
Sometimes spontaneous expressions
Sometimes we call out to the muses
Sometimes unbidden confessions
Sometimes words one hardly chooses
Always reflections of(f) the heart
Always offerings of and to art
Always labors born of the mind
Always truest of what's left behind

You’ve given them dignity and meaning. Sometimes you write from the heart or the mind, Always we feel the depth of your words. ๐

Nice on David., loved it!!
Just adding to “Sometimes words one hardly chooses”
(limitation of words w.r.t expressing one’s thoughts)
“Sometimes “Words” muse me to write,
But Always, Ain’t enough to recite,
Sometime, Defeating allies to budding vision,
But Always, Curbing guards in mind’s prison.
Sometimes, Courageous heart wants to express free,
But Always, disfigures precious feels to debris.”
This is great, Joe! Well penned ๐
BTW, when I click on your name, it takes me to a defunct blog, rather than the one of yours that I think is active…
I don’t know if this will help, but it might –

David
then you certainly succeeded!
This is fantastic David! ๐๐ So much in these 8 lines about the writing/poetic process but 3 lines that stand out to me are the last 2 of verse 1 & first line of verse 2. Lines & inspiration that we don’t go looking for or want to go looking for. And reflections of/f the heart in that are poems and words are mirror reflections of our heart laid bare and musings from inside it. Just brilliant sir! โค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐๐
Ken, you’re sweet. Thanks so much.
