Dreams _ Again by Tracy Hand


Dreams
  are not a Reality

Real
  is not Imaginary

Life
  is Real

To live It
  we must Dream
  we must transform our Dreams into Reality

So they never become Imaginary
                      Again!


My Note to Tracy Hand:
 
I had a very heartfelt conversation with you and it stirred up emotions of things you tried or thought you'd put to rest. It also reminded you of the dreams you wanted to pursue, but somewhere down the line you forgot about them, but now remembering you must put them to the fore front, and begin again. I can't wait to see you transform the rest of your "Dreams into Reality."

Thank you for sharing this poem with me and allowing me to share it with others. This poem is more than beautiful.

A Verse That is Free - by Jason Fairhurst Wall


Right now,
I need a verse -
a verse that is free.
 
Free to feel
and free to roam.
 
Free to love and to spurn.
Free to make myself at home.
 
A verse free
to take any turn.
 
Free to take a path that's straight.
Free to feel
and free to hate.
 
I need a verse -
a verse that is free.
 
This freedom is
enough for me.

Finding Poetry By Rachel Benson (The Word Glutton)


I’ve pulled poetry out of the shatter of broken bottles
And in the threads of stained sheets
Found rhythm in bluesy rants
And on the needle of scratched records of sordid yesteryears
Yes, I’ve caught stories in winds blown from haggard sighs
And abandoned cries that sat idly by on the corners of notebooks
Waiting to be heard…and written

I caught words riding on the wings of brief hellos and forced goodbyes
My eyes have witnessed the prettiest poesy
In the ugliest ugly
I've learned that poetry lies between each scarring
Of blemishes and unwarranted hurt
Birthed from unrequited infatuations 

And grown from uncultivated seeds
I have heard spoken word spill through sealed lips
That couldn’t contain secrets
Yet they remained mysteries
Because the flow of poetry offers anonymity

Even in its revealing
I’ve stepped in whole verses
Sprinkled in the aftermath of cumulus storms
Causing poetry to stick to the bottom of my shoes
Putting pulse in my walk… making me able
Able to walk words onto the spread of life
Finding poetry has afforded me the privilege
To pick beauty from the devastations
And place it in the center of wreckages of busted bubbles
Finding poetry has proven the existence of something more
We find our equals in admittances
And utterances of truth
Finding poetry gives voices and lends hands
To the quiet and the helpless

Little girls find their youth and little boys find their chance
People find their hope
When reading or hearing their lives poeticized and memorized
By someone else who recognized their cries
And they never even knew that they were spotted
In the cracks and crevices of nothingness
But when you find poetry
