could poetry be
a way to dig down
and out to listen
.
to silence interpreting
clanging sounds
to separate words
.
suddenly come
alive in the arms
of your mind
.
ready to be
grasped and placed
tiding up logic
.
a string of letters
a hum of sounds
aligned with soul
.

Thank you Anna. The poem is beautiful and brief, yet it says it all. The beauty of poetry is that it can be anything you want it to be. I get my inspiration from what I refer to as Clear Audience. However, a poet friend of mine uses the term “it is as though someone is standing behind me and whispers into my ear”. Love, create, and share – with endless enthusiasm – Alina 🙂

That poetry is working with words “suddenly come/alive in the arms/of your mind” is truly a lovely, but strong, image. Poetry is a laborious love, indeed–and you render it so lovingly. Bravo, Anna!

As a poet, this gives me chills when I think about this! 😀 I love writing poetry about the essence and value of words. Wonderful poem! The split phrases between stanzas was provocative and it made me really understand the meaning! 🙂
