Today's poet

we are understood
when the right words elude us
poems can explain

Sorry TM

And then there were three
To put the haiku to bed
And rhyme one last rhyme

Lakeland Dreams.

When the evenings velvet blanket covers me,
I dream of your majestic cloud topped peaks,
The most wonderful solitude where i feel free,
Your beautiful mountainous land to my soul it speaks.

You can see to the land of the celts on a clear day,
Up pike, through scree,on ridge take in all around,
A place of worship for folk like me i kneel down and pray,
I am so lucky to be enveloped by this hallowed ground.

Scafell, Pillar ,Great Gable , Haystacks and more,
Derwentwater and all the lakes and many summits,
Feel yourself more alive than ever before,
Pray thanks for gods own land and the life you have through it.

Hi, Honey I'm Home

I couldn't have put
It better myself. Ok
Someone else could then!

Thank you. Quick question how do you guys start writing a poem what is your technique ?.Now i appreciate that not all poems may use this technique as i don't use mine on all but most say 70 % do start with my technique.

You've been really productive today Tri-mind, I'm very impressed. That's another lovely one and fits tonight's earlier theme perfectly.

I am really bad, I studied poetry form at school but never wrote any and now I just make it up as I go along, literally. The haiku is the only poetry form where I mainly stick to rules. Normally I just start writing and see what sounds good. I make my art that way too. It is very instinctive with me and less about rules.
