Master Word Weaver ~ OpenLinkNight

While Claudia is busying herself prepping the pub for tomorrow's OpenLinkNight, I'm totally ahead of the game! (For Once!) With a busy week looming, I wasn't going to miss out on the fantastic addiction this weekly meeting of the minds has become.  Rather than babble on in my typical fashion, I just want to be sure each and everyone of you understand how important you are to me and my sanity (my friends and family should be lining up to thank you as well!) Here's to dVersePoets & OpenLinkNight.

Master Word Weaver


Master Word Weaver...make me your believer
In your words I wallow
Held steady by your pen.


Master Poet....know it
Your music fuels my drive
Ambition bled in ink


upon these crinkled pages
my story, slow to telling
but you tease and persist


urging truth, removing shadows
kindred spirits gather
rejoicing in your words.


Master Word Weaver...does your truth deceive her?
Spilling light upon the hills
where the monsters of yesterday


cower at your hand.
Rewriting the histories, 
how we perceive us to be,


beaten down by the hands of power
no longer will we cower
steady...at the ready.


Master Poet...know it
as we rise to take our place
You inspire strength


you give to us a voice
a weapon
an army


Master Word Weaver, born a ready leader
we await
your next command.

You're not only impressive as a poet, but I also think there's a budding revolutionary somewhere in there.

We have a voice and our words are weapons that seek to make the world a better place. Great capture here. Love it!
Words are powerful, revolutionary, life changing and life giving. You use them well.
A rousing verse "woven" here!

It's difficult to mix militancy (if that's the right word) with letters and have either survive the experience. But you do manage that. Story tellers often had places at the tables of high councils in days of yore...perhaps they will again. As always, I enjoy your captured moments. Nice job here.

This made me think of a few people, high and low, known and unknown, whose ways with words have changed my life. You're on fire in this one, Natasha, and a good candidate yourself for the sort of inspiration and spirit that moves the soul off high center.

I love good poems about poets, so am especially appreciative of this one. Ending is spectacular.
Mary said…
Ah yes, Master Word Weaver is so important to all of us, I think. I understand about the importance of poetry & love your work.
Awesome write. Gets a grp on the reader and won't go. Excellent!

This gave me chills:

"Master Poet....know it
Your music fuels my drive"

There is power in our poetic unity:

"you give to us a voice
a weapon
an army"

Thank you for all your recent comments; you've made my (and my husband's) day. :)

This is brilliant tash...

We are at war - of that there is no doubt...
The claustrophobic system inches in gradually.
Poetry resists and repels violently and beautifully.

We are at war - of this there is no doubt
I could cry - but poetry allows me to shout!

i love it love it love it....

Thanks for your support too

big up yourself ^^^^^^ :)

When we weave words we weave new worlds. Keep on weaving we are so due for a new world.
