Everyone, meet Richard Eberhardt. I met Richard at the beginning of this month at the Word Whips group that I host for Pandora’s Collective. The following is a poem inspired by Richard’s first reaction to the words Let ME Out!! on this blog. I was really touched by Richard’s willingness to share his words. You will also find another poem he wrote in a comment on this week’s Tuesday task – thank you, Richard!
The Artist Within
Let me out
So I can shout
And tell you what
It’s all about
Let me paint
‘Till I feel faint
Then let my art
Make me a saint
The artist’s words
Like flights of birds
Take to the air
In rainbows blurred
Let me sing
Hear my voice ring
If that’s the talent
That I can bring
Let me dance
Let’s take a chance
Don’t be afraid
Of my advance
Let me strive
Perchance to thrive
My spirit soars
While I’m alive
Let me try
Though I may cry
To express myself
Before I die
Let me show
These things I know
What shines above
Or lies below
Children small
Folks old and tall
Breaking through
Creative walls
Though we’re all weak
We take a peek
Into a world
Few ever seek
