why compose poetry

Submitted by lovedly on Wed, 2016-02-03 22:45

Very often I wonder
Is it worth my time...
to waste my invaluable time
humouring all who read me for fun
then I think it's time to wind up ...but the cold outside
ooooo so cold... all snow
my mind beckons me
composing poetry is best for all ye
as I pass time and spare the mind
the eyes are partially blind
so I have you all in mind
as you read poetry sublime

Hope you also pass your time
humour yourself for I am me
a creature creating simplistic poetry
where will you find the need to google and giggle
I am the Wordsworth of modern poetry
just follow me
I am that apple tree
beneath which lovers enjoy with glee
as they sing my verses
as Gods hymns of love
which destiny makes them seed
and produce
a new lover’s breed
Human need

Loved

As usual an entertaining piece, made me smile for a change.
There amongst the conglomeration of words,
does come a reason to smile.
One day in those clouds of energy we will play.
I wonder if the Gods of old will attend.
We can throw thunderbolts at Thor
Show Zeus that he is not the supreme ruler of all.
We can have tea at an old cave I know.
Help the children at play, and with their tasks
Learn from the masters, teach us they will..
Enjoy the freedom of infinity
So much to look forward to
Yet we dwell a while, sending words to each other.
There in our thoughts they start, as thoughts are infinity.
We will be able to race after them and laugh or cry.
See you in that great bye and bye,

Yours as always Ian..

Here's a hymn I wrote that has just been put to music:-

Walk in the light.

Come walk with me oh spirit of love
Make me here on earth as you above
Come walk with me as on I go
Eternal love and light I love you so

Come walk with me oh spirit of love
Let me live in the ways of the ones above
Come walk with me as I want to grow
With your light and love, as I love you so

Come walk with me oh spirit of love
Take care of my loved ones there above
Walk with them, and teach them all you know
That in eternal life they will continue to grow

Come walk with me oh spirit of love
One day I will join you in the light above
We will walk together in our love I know
Eternal love and light, I love you so..

.
Give critique to help keep Neopoet great.
Unconditional love to you all.
"Learn to love yourself first"
Yours as always, Ian.T, Sparrow, and Yenti

and above all congrats

I can hear you sing and call me
I am now above but shan't be able to come
you will have to come and have coffee with me
in a garden so vast and lonely
just you and Lovedly
others will stare
how loved and Ian are doing up there
in the light of heavenly glare
stars will also stare
and seek permission to dance
as in your music young lovers on earth romance
say all Ian come and prance
as we used to do in France
and
now ask your musicians
to play my muse
as alone you difuse
