Poem of the Week~Do You Read Me?

Kids, I believe you know what this blogosphere means to me. Isn't it  wonderful - amazing, really - to have friends from all over the globe stop by our blogs, leave kind comments, share the poetic journey we all are on? This week, Nene, at Life Whispers, wrote a poem that beautifully describes this sharing. His wonderful poem "Do You Read Me?" is this week's Poem of the Week.

do you read me

tender is the thought

that my words, you’ve read
have touched your heart

that the spirit of my song

has held a wind on your wings

and you dance with me

that you judge me not

for the words I do not use

or those I do, are no less of skill

at writing songs than yours

I notice you dance

with many who sing to you

 synchronize your words,

not missing a step while

sharing  each other’s verse

I see the beauty of an azalea

as I do in a daisy

a rose is no more beautiful

than a tulip

a cardinal to a robin

a maple to an oak

embracing each other creates

a lovely painting

all smile at each other

with loving grace

for all

are beautiful

on this canvas

they all have a 'say'

Isn't that lovely, kids? Yes, "all are beautiful on this canvas". If you would like to learn more about Nene, I interviewed him in our Life of a Poet series : Life of A Poet and His Mamasita. It was one of my favorite interviews. Nene has a big heart!
