Poem : "Origin of a Poem"

Tikuli Dogra
A feeling, a thought,
some jumbled up words
took wings and flew
out of my heart.

Sailing through the azure sky,
stroking the waves of the
Jade waters of the ocean,
they rose like the
mist from the valley.

Slowly they drifted
to kiss the mountain brow
and glided leisurely earthward
to play with the gurgling brook.

Intoxicated by the scent
of my wild flowers dreams
fragrant with the smell of
first rain showers
they settled on a piece of paper
in my hand.

Interlacing themselves
with the rhythm of life
weaving the yarn
with colors of joy
they brought into existence
my first poesy of the day.

    Beautiful. I remember watching a television show about a poet. He lived in a small village. He never attended school.. so he couldn't read or write.. yet he was able to verbalize the most beautiful poems. It came without any effort on his part... truly gifted.

    Well done. I would suggest perhaps a comma after wildflowers, so the reader does not think it you are speaking of the wildflowers dreams and not your own.

    best,

    Simply Superb.

    Simple words yet such profound expression the scenario is as vivid as in a vision, I can only wish and pray oh dear Poetess,
    May there be more power to your creation.

    May you be blessed with infinite wisdom and a lot of creative energy.

    God Bless you and your creativity
