love for an ole poet
Your love for me,
still an upcoming poet
well over seven decades old
‘‘Sends electric currents up my spine
I shiver
but not shudder''
Poetry, beauty, emotion,
archaicism
and
God, divinity
will be reconsidered
if the poetry is
not transformed
back into hibernation
into its nascent cell
As all oysters
can't produce pearls,
few alone
produce
invaluable gems.
You all read
and
help me grow
as a poet of credence
(No ass licking here)
no comparison
we all are poets
unique
some sweep
others make readers weep
and
they alone are true poets
all poetry is splendour
if communication is tender
We all stand by the ocean of Time
which we call life
in moderna vocabulary
mark this poetry
only if you wish
and
kindness you all must dish
we all are learning how to fish!

Hi Lovedly
I found your fifth stanza somewhat confusing, did you mean something like this?
As all oysters
can't produce pearls,
few alone produce
invaluable gems.

let me compare
as all shells
can't produce oysters
few alone produce
invaluable gems
As all oysters
can't produce pearls,
few alone produce
invaluable gems.
