In A Poem

In a poem
I place delight
Where rhythm is solemn
And rhymes come
In various forms of music
Pleasant to the pitch
Of a tattered ear.

As it ends
Meter after meter,
So ends the testimony
Made by my silent voice.
Delight is dead
And the soul speaks
No more.

In A Poem.

In this fine inking you have hit the nail on the poetic head about what is involved in writing a poem Dennis. The sheer delight the writer feels when the poem comes together in perfect rhythm and rhyme for him. In very fine detail, you tell how the poet feels when his work is complete - delight dead, his inspiration and energy both spent, until the next time his Muse visits. I have so enjoyed reading this great write Dennis. I love the smoothness of the flow and how well it is expressed. Beautiful work and I thank you so very much for sharing it with me, Dennis.
