my one thousandth post!
we paint life’s emotions and games with words
verbal art with words sketched in wondrous ways
formats, free verse painting life soaring birds
we explore explain confuse create praise
document disdain or even malaise
words woven diverse contradictory
splash or weave verbal art aids history
collaborate solo we love word play
poetry is sheer magic mystery
artists compelled to graffiti word sway
dVerse, dizain, Rosemary
thanks Gina and Marie for your help with syllable counting!
inspired by this new blogger’s subtitle
aroused 
A wonderful portrayal of how true poetry is born.

A wonderful description of how poetry or writing for that matter paints a picture, a verbal picture of life.

A thousand posts? What a legacy you’ve bestowed upon us, Kate. To think, I encountered you only around Post #970. So much more to explore!
Ah yes, language’s expressive infinity. You’re a writer, Kate, so you know all too well it often isn’t difficult finding words (sometimes even that eludes us, though), but paring them, selecting them – performing triage – is challenging
With today’s poem, you had to omit words that exceeded the totals. What sorrow!

love the challenge of these formats that are new to me …. but those words will arise again in another post, they are never lost, just delayed 🙂

Good thinking, Kate. They’re part of a story you’ll tell another day.
Thus, the tapestry continues beyond the gilding.

Congratulations on your thousandth post! I was interested to see the blog post which inspired you – a valid comparison. (In my head I often liken poetry to sculpture: a shaping. Others see it as being like dance.) I’d have liked a few more commas for easier reading, but that’s a personal preference. You’ve got the form down, and use it to say interesting things which clearly resonate with your fellow-poets.

thanks so much Rosemary … ditched punctuation and capitals some time ago, no idea why but it works for me … think it allows readers more flow to pause as they wish

Good point, and it certainly engaged this reader more closely for that very reason.
