Poems by Godfrey Morris : 3 / 60
A Poem
A verse am I, in a twist,
Listen! You will hear, and get this gist
A prose, confounded in a diet of words
Holding expressions of virtue, to my world
One so hidden in simple complexities
Speak thus, in a whisper to receive a rhyme
A metaphor for the mysteries mime,
Seeking an imaginary audience to hear.

love this poem. A metaphor for the mysteries mine Seeking an imaginary audience to hear. nice quote
Beautifully put...... Keep writing.
brilliantly written sir, the poem proves that poems are also living things
Fun poem, especially like the a diet of words line!
to personify poems make me feel for writings and reminds me of poets lives, cause without a poem cannot live.
Hahaha I love this poem! Broken the fourth wall so discreetly - a poem about a poem! May I invite you to read a poem I wrote remotely similar to yours titled The Poet. It's about the poet's process of conceiving his ideas. I'd love to know what you think and I'd greatly appreciate any comment you have on the poem!
A poem for the ages. a very great poet you are sir
this is a nice poem. i felt that at some places it went a little too prosaic... like, instead of Listen! you could have put Hark! that would have given it a nice poetic touch.. nevertheless... with small changes it is a wonderful poem
A poem thinking on its own is a good imagination.Very well written, Sir.
wonderful...a poem thinking aloud!
