a shout out to tess kincaid and magpie tales for inspiring this little poem in my muse. it was an image that got me thinking, and this is what cropped up… also shared with d’verse poets pub at their open link night and meeting the bar features; and the poet’s rally…
my world is on paper,
my words are there too;
all my thoughts held,
in sheets, but no glue.
will a wind unknown,
blow my world apart?
thatβd leave me broken,
quite far from a start;
or spread my thoughts
to the people around;
and later return here,
where them Iβd found.
I know not tomorrow,
but for it I shall wait;
till then I shall write,
for my world I fight,
a kingly paperweight.

I like how your world is born of your words, the actual words mentioned in a secondary nature.

Isn't that what writers are?Words and thoughts from heart spread on paper?Will the wind blow your world apart?It would be nice if once blown, people will catch every single piece of the paper, read it and find who wrote them…of course, it is Leo!Both beautiful and poignant lines, again from the rhymer without reason… π

Sometimes I think my world is on paper, too. But I think it's about pouring out what's inside into the words on paper. Nice reflection, Leo.

ha nice…what i like on putting fragments of our world on paper is when i re-read these poems later, i'm right where i was when i wrote it – even if it's months later…there are the same colors again, the same mood, the same emotions..somehow magical…

I like your poem a lot.Β However, for myself I would say my world is not so much on paper as it is in my poetry blog…no 'hard copy.'Β Β I think computers/ blogs are the new "paper."Β A very thoughtful write in response to the Mag & dVerse.
