Each word, each line
Each thought I relive
Effort put, times nine
Desire more, they give
For each sorrow gone
New paths are found
A fresh smile is born
To spread all around
Milestones are many
Passion remains same
Finding new friends
Stay true to my name
No destination here
A journey magnifique
A moment to admire
Then continue to seek
With each step taken
A new lesson learnt
New dreams awaken
Old hurdles are burnt
Each drop of ink spilt
Each beat, my heart
Knits a magical quilt
Loves this poetic art
Shared with the poets at Jingle’s Thursday Poets Rally, Week 31.

With this post, my blog turns 900 posts young. Thanks to all friends, who I’ve got through this journey and who’ve given me that push at much needed times. Cheers.
Vinay Leo R.
Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
that’s a stunning achievement,
way to go.
Glad to have you share with Poets Rally week 31.

Leo,
Congrats on the 900 posts that is amazing. I really loved your poem and you are an exceptional rhymer. I also have to give you props for calling me on my poem. Everybody always thinks it’s about a man and it’s not. It is so the ocean, always has been.
Thanks for the read
funnygirllola
hi LoLa.. thanks for the wishes ๐ glad u loved the poem and the rhyme..
yeah, I could tell.. there were lines there that were filled with the sounds of ocean & seaside..
thanks for reading mine too.. ๐
Lovely placement of “magnifique”! Good word!
thanks, Curtis ๐
Nine hundred you say? Wow!
I love the final stanza the most. This is how I see my life and the ink I’ve spilt–or the keyboards I’ve worn through.
Well done. I must peruse the other 899.
yeah, 900 ๐ some are mine, some are guest posts on milestone times ๐ yeah.. last verse is relatable for many I think, Jgrow… please feel free to peruse them ๐
For each sorrow gone
New paths are found
Exactly. ๐ Beautiful poem! Now if only I can write as well as this. :))
ah, you can write better than this too, Yuuki ๐ thanks for the visit ๐
Wow–congratulations! I’m so new to blogging, I can’t imagine ever hitting your mark.
You picked a great piece to celebrate with: The last stanza in particular painted a great picture for me.
I’m happy you enjoyed my dancing piece, too. Some of the inspiration for it was friends who say they can’t dance–if I can get back at it after all of the mucking about surgery has done with my feet, I’m no longer going to accept that excuse from anyone!
when I started, I didn’t imagine 9 posts even actually, Julie.. ๐ you might get there soon too..
glad you liked the piece.. thanks very much for dropping by..
I know.. I can dance, but like I said, two left feet ๐
Great poem and great achievement Leonnyes may you go 900 more….
thanks Words, glad u liked the poem.. and I certainly hope to go more higher! ๐
Beautiful! Double applause for the rhyming – I can never do that! ๐
ah.. u can try, ADK Writer…its not that hard ๐
awesome, i think we can all share the same reverence for writing ๐
yeah, I think so too, Bella ๐
i really, really loved the flow. ๐
glad u loved it, D ๐
Lovely tone. great rhythm. awesome!

900 posts? WOW! I’m only 8 past 100 right now, I just opened the blog up since November 09. Very good poem, and the pen truly is mightier than the sword, but again, you have to use the sword for when the pen fails.
