The Workshop (Neopoet Around The Globe Anthology Contest)

Of poets, I know their beating hearts
Vital organs drumming tempos
Unending circles, ambiguous starts
Infinite roads a writer can follow

One road I traveled opened this door
Affords a deeper look inside
A place I thought that I could be more
Somewhere I feel I do not have to hide

They took me in and gave me a home
A space where I can really create
Where others come experience my poem
Peruse through my work, urge me to be great

Where I can offer words in return
My ideas put to use now and again
All unique writers from which to learn
All kindred spirits I’m proud to call friends

Did you just

Suggest I not start a poem with a prepositional phrase?, because all of my high school literature teachers agree. Lol.

I’ll look into it. I do like archaic forms. I’ll roll it over. Appreciate the feedback as always.

The Workshop

Hello, Tim,
I love the entire poem, but I think what stands our for me is the first thought: "Of poets" and the last thought: of "friends." You've captured all the magic that goes on in between!
Thank you!
