starting from nowhere, where does it end?
going on, stopping a while, resting along
saga continues, spirit being so strong-
circles, curves, squiggling at the bends,
stories are told, cut short once more, tend
to go off in a tangent, nothing goes wrong
as it has to travel miles, pausing for a song;
poised above words, jerked out; sends
signals to follow travellers, regaling anecdotes
of various stop over, amusing details retold
again and again which becomes part of lore
to be memorized; recalled akin to a side note
on the margins of a text marked muted or bold
this goes on until nothing is left of ink's valour.

yes indeed, agree with brian. a camp fire tale. a fable unfolding and given mouth to ear for generations to pick up and pass on.
wow
Hello!
This work is very good. Thank you
have nice week
I like to look upon myself as not a tourist but a traveller, which is a big difference.
Your sonnet spoke to my heart and I am copying it into my written diary.
Thanks for leading me your way!
I am amazed by poetry. I can hardly put two words together that roll softly like a poem...I admire your poetry.
Nice job! You are able to use so many different forms, I'm impressed
A bon fire's tales? wow nice!
Keshi.
Not enough adjectives to describe the sensations that brought about in me.
brian: I never thought quite like that while I was composing this. I was thinking from the ink's perception.
cocaine jesus: Glad to see you here. Though I ha to brow beat you for it. You visit my gita blog, I know.
kai, david, keshi: Thanks!
britt: Gee, thanks. You are welcome to use it.
tongue in cheek: Oh, you canwrite poetry. Just give it a chance.
sage: Thanks. It is more for myself. I am learning the ropes for now. I can't write sestinas till date and one villanelleis yet to be completed since June 2005.
steve: Thanks buddy!
very, very nice!
hope you have a great week :)
time out from my journey
to join you on yours
thank you for this piece of calm thought
Ah, one of my favorite forms. You did a nice job with it so no more saying you can't sonnets. Good work!
Serious but serene !
Drifted in, nice to visit you.
This would be a beauty read aloud!
Good rhyming technique ... wish I had some kind of form ...
great story teller
hugs for you.
Thanks all!
Russell, I am writing sonnets but can't complete my villanelle. So frustrating. There are other forms that I need to learn too. That is only way I can discipline my wavering mind. Writing structured poetry does give me directions when I most need it. Btw, you are one of my inspirations.
wow, you're good at whatever form you choose.
enjoyed this one
polona, sometimes my inner demons drive me to write!
