Taking The Plunge. Poem by Fay Slimm

Taking The Plunge.

Rating: 5.0


Once gold is created from common straw
Scribe's wordy power proves worthy of call.
Poetic expresson, absent before
Brings eloquent phrase to primitive form.

Construction of verse makes art as its end.
Accepting the gift means taking the stand.
Acquiring the Muse is gaining a friend.
Having taken the plunge, have pen to hand.

In the small hours before dawn, our minds are receptive a river of words, are put into perspective the next verse is delivered, as fast as i write put the thoughts down on paper before they take flight

An artful poem Fay. To take something from life and see its beauty with wonder, a poet can embellish eloquent words for others to enjoy and share. I love how you have brought friendship into this poem. 10 love Karin
