Everyday is gonna,
Be a good day.
So wake up every morning,
With a smile of your face.
The world is ready,
For you to take.

Each page conveys the sentiment
the words, more meaning still
to pause for just, a moment
listening to, the writer's quill

Inspiration flows,
From my soul to my mind to my eye.
My quill glows,
Connecting the dots, of the paper my ally

It's there for you and me
the comradere of prose
sung, lined, rhymed, or free
and perfectly, composed

My quill sings a story,
My heart translates its feelings.
My paper is never lonely,
For the words fill its openings.

We deal with emotions
the ones, we can't suppress
words, in constant motion
poetically, expressed

The words we can,
We scream, shout or yell.
The words we can't,
We sit quietly and dwell.

The feel of synchronicity
a push, sometimes, a pull
not knowing what will, or may not be
a glass not empty, but yet, not full

One man
Poetry to me had become boring
pretentious writer craved adoring
"Likes for this one" it overtook
a simple love of a poetry book

Poems to me had lost there flair
no love up here or under there
with every single word I'd gloat
in the dribble that I wrote

Yet now a new style I've found
playfully written wrote for sound
Simple to read and flows to say
so fun to write with words I play

And helps keep the ego at bay
loss of identity some would say
but to not be "known" I feel I can
relate to all as just One man

Freedom found from judgemental critics
written just cause I can
Hello Poetry to me is just another joint family
How by a common bond, here we are strung together
Though separated by geographical boundaries
Distance has never been a hitch or a tether

Your relentless encouragement helps me aim for heights
Your heart felt blessings give me loads of happiness
Your poems open before me new avenues of thought
Your gracious company creates for me a new ambience

Before my eyes, a hundred smiling faces appear in a row
Some stand out as beacons of radiant light
With words of encouragement, you vanquish all my doubts
Revitalizing my spirit and leaving it shimmering bright

Through this forum we share our inmost thoughts
How close we feel though never been together
Many have left the scene leaving trails of footprints
And many join fresh to continue the endeavor

Irrespective of creed we are here at art’s sacred shrine
‘Poets’ we are called and we breathe the scented pride
We stand tall among many others of our species
Let us proclaim aloud our fraternity worldwide!
Please don’t see this as a poem, but an expression of my deep feelings of gratitude! I am so happy about the enthusiastic response I get for my poems and am short of words to thank Hello Poetry and my fellow poets here! These days I am ******* with some family responsibilities and am unable to read poems I wish to read or comment!  The pressing engagements at the home front compel me to take a short break from you all! Hope to be back after two weeks. In between, whenever I get time, I shall try to see your poems…

Kaye I
she's a song
you'll never hear
because you never listened.
There's a fire that dances
Whimsical and true
Encased in flesh
Quite beautiful

The flames burst from brown
Wide open in white
Everything she touches
Burst forth with life

Tempered by heart
Twice as warm as the flames
But raging with vitality
That nothing can tame

I gazed into this fire
Amazed with wonder
I danced to her tune
I felt the hunger

Laid open and bare
The fires consume
But I'd turn to ash with her
And smile in the plumes
