Atlanta to Albany (Free verse) by powerline

Standing still in watch are trees Who quietly wait this pale cold night For in the south a heart heads home By wings who yield a timely flight With lasting winds smooth like felt A wintery blue keeps warm a land The currents so true now in breath Hold close and dear a traveled hand Shimmers of shadows pass low but near These tides they pass through plains and coast For high above a smell like mist Knows well a heart who grows in pulse Pushing far the air between A wind by side lets go its grasp Stillness brings a family near And for their guest a home at last

This was a while back, but your comments deserve a response.

Your presumption is off. I'm a 100% hack at poetry with a certain lack of spelling acumen. If anyone should be limited in their postings it should be me.

What I was after in my suggestion is the notion that those who use this sight in a negative hostile manor should be limited. Those who spew out pure garbage for the sake of it should be able to do so, but only in a limited sense.

Anyone should be able to post their heart's effort. Its when the effort speaks more towards a blatant misuse of the english language under the guise of poetry that I have a problem.

Those who speak with their hearts and mind are excluded, no matter how long they've been crafting their words. Crafting is the operative word here, far far removed from the mindless rhetorical masturbation I make refernce to.
