There is me... and only me... In this world of poetry, In the crystal fairy tale of life I am the brightest star. The ground is slipping from under my feet The stars are spinning in time with the breath ... The stream of my words is flowing, Massaging my inflated ego . My soul is flying with delight In the clouds. Unplayed love motive Gives birth to my poems... Ah ,I love myself so much Always – There are no other important words For now ... Like a mosaic of feelings Through the years I will write down my name in the dawns

About this poem:
It concerns our poet"s corner-The way I see some poets on our Poet"s corner .. I tried to write with humor and a little bit of irony))) sometimes it's just getting very funny ..
Hi Lily, I understand the meaning of your poem very clearly. I like the way you skillfully deal with serious issues on the Corner in a humorous way. Some poets here seem to be driven by ego and show little regard for the community. The Corner is unhappy and it shows in the lack of views and comments that they receive. Great to see you back posting Lily. You always speak truthfully and from the heart.
Hi Mick. Thank you for your supportive comment...That was nothing personal, just all about a few poet fellows.I need to thank them for the isnpiration .Greetings, Lily

@sala I am curious that you see some of the contributors in that light (well not here at least). I have seen none such, but then we each have our own eyes.
Hi Lilly yes you are correct manners make-eth the man so i can only assume he is a kid or some-one with problems but its annoying to see long lists of nothing
Fargo, yes, you are right. we are all different and everyone sees the world with his/ her own eyes .. one sees some things, while the other does not, because he/she either doesn’t care, or he/she himself/ herself is the same, or simply closes his/her eyes and pretend to be blind))) But i should tell you that in every community(I hope we are) people should always find a compromise..that"s what i don t see here from time to time... unfortunatelly ..one person tries to rule all the events here.. that is what we call dictatorship))
Red, you are right, but on my opinion, the annoying kid with "a long lists of nothing" is not our biggest problem. There is another problem- a couple of persons , who definitely try to rule the corner and be on the top of list by all means..that is really annoying and at the same time funny for me. Lily

i come rarely as many of my beloved friends are not here. but the urge to return is stronger but the staying power is less since a round of poor health issue and blank walls inpsiration is far and less
Red, no way, for sure it has nothing to do with you..Lily
Morgan, I am so sorry about your health..hope you will be better soon.. and your inspiration will bring you back here even if your friends have left us.. i have the same btw..many poets i ve admired have left us.. and there remained a bit of vacuum in corner for me.. take care, Lily
optimistic, I can read between the lines well. but too strong stream of words carries away the meaning of what is between the lines. Everything should be in moderation .. then come balance and peace into your life
optimistic, if there is too much of something, the balance may shift in one direction or another ... just stop and watch, take a deep breath, meditate. achieve balance in your soul .. after a while you will receive answers from the Universe to all your questions ..if you want to start a discussion, you are welcome to write me in private..as you did it before.. Lily
Dear Lily - unfortunately there are very unhappy people in this world and they just love to try to take everyone down with them. Keep writing your beautiful thoughts dear poet and ignore those who would want to drag everyone down into their hole.
Dear Kathy, thank you for your wise words.. I realise that there are not so many really happy people.. I guessed it was the reason for all of us(I mean our community) to support each other... instead of going to fight and trying to satisfy own ambitions.. but ok..everyone chooses his/her own way.. Waiting for your new poems Kathy.. Lily
Kathy and lily you are both correct of course, many people with problems can only get it out in poetry . Long lists do not get maybe the support they are after. Sabotage comes to mind
Its nice when a poem is written in good and bad times to get fellow poets support though dont you think.
You know, I have felt the same sadness here at the Poetry corner for quite some time and like you, I try to post some work that makes people laugh, if only but for a moment.
I haven't been able to post as often due to having a very stressful and sad job. So when I come here for respite, I do it so that my soul can convene with likeminded people here.
It takes a team sometimes to rise from the shadows to shine in the light.
Salumuna, I read most of the poems here cause I think that taking their time to put in words to express something has merit. We all here are unique in some way. We all are different also. Been here for a long time. Not a professional but I love poetry. Writing lets us get out our feelings and thoughts on a subject while reading it encourages us to connect and find meaning in our experiences. Sadness is the main topic here cause of all that is going around at the moment. For those that let their negativity drag them down, once they reach the bottom they will wake up at some point. Many are going through, pain, despair, and who knows. The PC is their escape at times.SM
Readerofsoul, "I do it so that my soul can convene with likeminded people ".. so do i
SM, I understand what you mean..Everyone here has his/her own ups and downs. Happy people hardly look into our corner .. therefore it would be normal and just polite to appreciate not only own emotions and feelings, but also the feelings and emotions of other fellow poets. we all are in same boat isnt it?
