Poet of the week
Such a fabulous week of poetry, so many great pieces to choose from, this week I want to highlight +Will Evans Will is incredibly friendly, supportive and encouraging of his fellow peers and his writing is pretty phenomenal. I'm choosing to share his poem Two to Tango because I am so used to seeing Will write in a stream of rhythmic thought that it was fabulous to see him exploring a different structure, and so brilliantly! Anyhow guys and gals...enjoy!
(Two to Tango)
Let me love you with passion
so intense that your knees bend,
caressing your body as we sin.
Lay back and let me kiss you from
your thigh to your nape,into deep
euphoria we'll lustfully escape.
Close your eyes and soak in the
warmth of my touch,don't fight
what's meant to be give into
the rush.
Allow this ride to take you on a
voyage high,above the clouds you'll
moan a welcoming cry as I proceed
to please you from the inside.
We reach our highest peak unable
to speak due to lovers bliss we lay here
weak,entangled in this web of fantasy
we give into sleep.
As the morning arises,the sun shines
upon your face,looking at you in amazement
this moment i'll never erase.We belong together
forever you and I as soul mates....
(C)William Evans
Special mentions
I have a great round up this week of superb special mentions...but first let me remind everyone how to yourself noticed and considered for the Poet of the week post
1. Interact and engage with your fellow poets. We here at POETS pride ourselves on the interactive environment we offer our members but ultimately we are only as good as you are willing to engage.
2. Write great poetry!
Different ways to ensure your poem is great are...make it fresh and diverse, avoid cliches, use vivid imagery - including similes, metaphors, figurative language, use consistent language, broaden your genres, themes, topics, forms and structures and perhaps most important is edit your poem before posting
3. Comply with the communities regulations, ensure your work has a copyright, ensure you correctly give credit to any artwork/images that are not your own, ensure you type in the poem when using a blog link/image/youtube video.
Okay soooo...Special mentions. This week, I want to mention those poets who inspire us consistently, who bless our poetic minds time after time. So much talent, so much soul, so much spirit in their writing, in their support to their peers, in their encouragement of others...
+M. S. Harvey Michael has been impressing us this week with some truly amazing, heartfelt and honest poetry. His recordings bring a whole new dimension to his poetry allowing the reader to truly feel what he has written. It is always a pleasure to read Michael's poetry and to engage and interact with him. Well done Michael. :)
+Esau Marduk Jesse (Esau) has come blasting onto our screens with an 'this is me' attitude, and I like it, his poetry explores often spiritual elements of being human and he is always a pleasure to engage with and shows wonderful encouragement to his fellow writers. Thank you Jesse :)
+John Fugman It is such a pleasure to have John back sharing his work, he is an excellent story teller, incredibly talented, as a reader you always become lost in his work and you are always left wanting more. Well done John :)
+Karine fourdan (sorry I cannot tag you yet!) Karine is a new comer to the community and he has been a wonderful breath of fresh air, supportive and encouraging in her comments and sharing her amazing poetry. Thank you Karine :)
