Poem: To the Great Poets

Written by empressjournee

To the great poets, whose words

speak in many tongues;

Parables, sonnets, haiku and concrete poem;

Like a river flowing graciously to their young’s:

To the great poets whose words,

Flows sweetly — with wisdom,

Like fresh rain, after the morning breath of hot sun:

One day, one day, I will write, dedicate to you,

A beautiful, marvelous, uplifting and inspiring song!

About the author

empressjournee

This bio will be short. I am a graduate of Medgar Evers College. Mother of three and grandmother. I love to read and write poetry.

To those who have been a great support in reading my website and those who just came across this poetry this will be the ending of my poetic journey for now. I hope there will be a new chapter in my life that will be a success and inspired people to be far better in their thoughts, words and deeds. I am working on myself and it’s been hard.... yet I am getting there. When I began my poetry, I felt so deeply inspired. Now when I write I just write (feeling burned out of all that has occurred and is occurring) and I am feeling as if my poetry isn’t moving in the manner that I feel it should because I have not place myself in a position to be active reading my poetry at live venues for my own personal reason. I wanted to thank those who took the time to read my poetry especially my love ones. Thank you for being on the journey with me. Peace and blessings.
