Poetry Is (The Expression of a Better Me) (Challenge)

by Alison McKenzie

The rhythm of ideas transformed;
The caloric value of burning imagery;
Energy born of imagination and dreams;
Souls made manifest in word.

"The caloric value of burning imagery." Love that line!

ali, this is top-0-ola, love the use of words, i.e. "rhythm' of ideas...the rhythm does have a life separate from the words themselves and it's a keen eye that sees that, 'caloric value of burning energy' is kissable.

Reading your poem is like opening a handcrafted jewelery box and finding stars there, shimmering with the richness of a soul made manifest. Great response to the challenge.
