pour me a poet
by Maria Francescapour me a poet
into my cup;
send me reeling with rhyme,
let his words fill me up
pour me a tall one,
a dark one
and sharp
with a mind like an arrow,
a voice like a harp
keep your liars
and charmers,
all shiny and varnished,
your war-loving knights,
armor bloody and tarnished;
send me beauty and language,
let words fill me up;
pour me a poet
into my cup.

| Posted by A. Paige White on 05/14/07 at 01:59 AM Love this! I looked long into that empty cup and wished... and found him tipped with silver hair and beard and magic in his fingertips, a bard of soul, ravisher and tender. He fills my cup and heats the handle too. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 05/14/07 at 03:37 AM Maria, yes..you have looked into my mind and written what you didn't know was there. The 3rd stanza I like especially, since there appears to be many of those liars out there. I love it!

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 11/27/07 at 09:39 PM Anyone could guess that I would LOVE your poem, and it sums up my feelings, exactly. You have put it so perfectly, with such loving language and images... I should frame your poem and put it over our (real weekly) Thursday night poets' table when I serve the "poets to the moon" and in my (dream fantasy) poem by poem "cottage in the woods"...too. |

| Posted by JJ Johnson on 06/18/10 at 03:05 AM What poet would not love to be in your cup? Oustanding imagery and flow. This would get ovations at open mics, not to mention requests or dates.... |
