I went to your village,
Uncommon it seems
Shelters were built with
Visions and dreams
The walls, made of prose,
Sculpted with letters,
Crafted with care by
Women trailblazers
Voices raised flags
From various countries
To break the bondage
Of tragic poetries
'Tis a safe space
For brave storytellers
'Tis the haven
Of kind encouragers
I was a vagabond
Vying for vacancy
Finding a place to
Unburden my journey
You opened the gates
With welcoming trust
Held my hand, and said,
" Sister, come live with us!"
Hi Kaye,
Creative! Wow!! You're gifted!!!
That's our sisterhood-World Pulse. So aptly described.
Loving hugs,
E. J.
Haha. I'm so amused with the word "gifted", dear E.J.. I struggle to write poetry. But thanks for appreciating! Thank you for the encouragement. Hugs.
Hello no longer vagabond Kaye,
You surprise again, because you said you didn't write poetry. This one flows like a river!! I read the first stanza and I could anticipate WP.
I love the 'vagabond vying for vacancy', because v is such a beautiful sound to alliterate.
But I also love
"Shelters were built with
Visions and dreams" because it makes one feel safe, and that if sheltered by visions and dreams, there's no opportunity to be mundane.
I hope you write more poetry, because you officially, CAN!! Go Kaye he he hee:)
Hello, my beloved KareNini,
Yes, I'm no longer a vagabond. Haha. I tried. I was inspired by the entries submitted here. I didn't even know how to punctuate the verses.Haha.
You're so sharp and smart, dear. Yes! You got those right.
Ohhh. Haha. I will try to write more. Poetry is like a painting. One can appreciate the art, but doing it is a different story.
Thank you for the encouragement!
wow how beautifully expressed the World Pulse . lovely my sister Karen
best, anjana
Wow. Thank you for appreciating, dear sister Anjana!
Hello Karen. I too know this village. I think it's World Pulse. Thank you so much for this beautiful poem that immortalises World Pulse. It's a global village. I didn't know that you were such a great poet. Congratulations. Keep writing darling sister.
Hugs
But of course we live in the same village, dear sister.
I'm so amused. Haha. I surely am not a great poet. I struggled to write this piece. I was inspired to try poetry after reading entries here. I don't consider myself a poet though. But thank you for your compliment! I am encouraged.
Hahaha, you're already a poet. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Keep writing.
oh Karen - love this poem so much! so beautifully said! you are masterful with words, my sister!
Thank you for appreciating, Dawn! Aww, you're so sweet, my sister.
Dear Karen,
Wow! It's beautifully and creatively written! I read it over and over again and just love the whole of it!.
I want to live in this village, where "Shelters were built by Visions and Dreams."..."Crafted by Women trailblazers."
Women can do great things too! You're brilliant!.Looking forward to more of your works.
Kind Regards,
Ironclay
