Ball Of The Year





image:google


I was happy// scared
Cause I was going to the ball
This was my first ball in the pub
I wanted to see them all
Soak myself in the conversation
Taste all the dishes..of course veg only...smiles..
Each one unique in their own way

I saw Brian welcoming everyone with ...smiles..
Claudia dressed in black chiffon was looking amazing
Anthony singing his rap in his deep voice
Bjorn looking fresh from his out door vacation
Scarlet in her red dress was dancing beautifully
Victoria, Laurie, Gay cannon, Tony, Shanyn
Oh my...in the excitement it was difficult for me
To remember all the names...

Then it stuck me that
Words binds us all together
With the thread of love
Forgetting we all come from different culture
We belong to poetry religion
We worship words
Comments from fellow poets cheer us
We thrive in supporting each other
We the poets of this dVerse pub

  3. The last stanza gave me the chills--it is in our willingness and ability to communicate that we are able to come together as one. Maybe we need to elect world leaders who are poets!

  5. Poetry is definitely our platform... I may not know you, but I know you write/love poetry - that's our connection; and it is beautiful...

  9. Hey, we can all dance together, smiles ~

    I specially love this part:

    Words binds us all together
    With the thread of love

    That is the magic of our words, our connection though physically we all over the world, we are close because of our words ~ Good to see you at ball tonight ~

  11. We are connected aren't we? Across time & space & even universes; each in our own corner, our own garden, reaching out for that reciprocation, that symbiosis, that homeostasis. I am awed & proud to be even a knuckle on our grand Poetic Creation. So nice to visit with you when we can.
