O' Those Lakes for Thinking!
In childhood and youth
That water reflected;
On eye and mind made
Dreams most brilliantly!
O' Those Lakes for Thinking!
Mostly hopes thought
And created in mind;
Waves looked crazily
Flamboyant in soul!
O' Those Lakes for Thinking!
Seeking happy ripples
Upon that hill asleep;
Hoping for valiant
Futures completely!

I like this one. I grew up around lakes and can relate to it! Thanks for visiting my little blog and the invitation. I will follow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment! I truly appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteYou are not a wannabe anything. You are a poet and writer from the inside out. Publishing is just for making money. Writing is for making you.
ReplyDeleteI like the work. Are you always this prolific? Have you entered any contests?
Do you meet with any other writers who can workshop your stuff?
I don't post my work because I'm afraid of getting ripped off. Good luck to you.
I do truly appreciate your kindness it means a lot and I do understand what your saying but I will always be a wannabe writer and poet. Even if I get published I'll still be one because I never want to become conceited. At least that's what I'm afraid I'll do if I actually start thinking that I'm good at writing. I just don't want to ever become full of myself.
ReplyDeleteWell I wouldn't say I was prolific but your kindness really humbles me thanks so much but most of my poems are like this especially the ones I wrote during January. I haven't yet I have considered it though but I thought I should get others opinions first and practice for a few months. I've just started writing poetry again after stopping for years. I've been in college and it's been really taking up all my time but I wasn't able to go this winter quarter and I thought I should do something constructive instead of spending my days on YouTube or TV and I've spent way too much time on both in the past. :)
No I haven't yet. I don't really know any writers or poets around where I live and I haven't looked for any clubs yet but I'll try to see if there is anything around. What is workshoping in the context that your using?
I was afraid of the same thing at first but I just hope that people are honest and thank you very much!
