For the heart roars with poetry when it hits a turning point… ~ mtg
by Marites Avisado-Responte
The unrehearsed prayer
muttered by the heart
that forms the words and the mouth
that makes it heard
The burning lightning strikes at a distant horizon
sparks the deserted way…
Its neon glow shoots the stars up
The howling wind kisses
The snow-draped meadows
Where the butterfly pauses and listens
The sluggish dew gracefully slips
along the ribs of a leaf
stops at its tip, clinging
tempting to drop…
The migrant bird perching
the bare tree, searching
for pair tweeting and singing …
The snowflakes tenderly falls
along the weathered quay
where waves are tamed and free
The listless swaying
of the pine leaves stirs
the spiritless white morn
in the snowy moor
The wishing gush of the streams
chants the tenderest lullaby amidst
the most challenging trek and trail
The brave moon in December
gracefully shows up its splendor
against the web of clouds
and unabated mists …
The slumber is perfected beneath
the cozy comforter where sighs
of weariness are forgotten
in its heavenly hug…
If silence is broken by my own chatter
all alone I am left not appreciating
the noiseless art and beauty that
tap my noisy heart…

Hi this is marites. You mean particularly on poetry? There are lots of websites, such as poetrysoup.com, allpoetry.com and poetryfoundation.org where you can actually sign up and be a member of the group. These sites sponsor poetry contests and members are enjoined to participate on some discussions that would build up and enrich more knowledge in creating poems. WordPress,too, offers opportunity for you, by exposing your literary works to legit bloggers who are poets and writers in their own right. Thanks.

Very good blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew
of any discussion boards that cover the same topics talked
about here? I’d really like to be a part of online community
where I can get responses from other experienced people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
