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
Style / type:

Last few words:
I don’t stand a chance against Abby or Flower Girl. It’s not terrible though. Thanks to Geezer for some editorial suggestions.

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.

Good job...
in letting us know how you feel about Neo. I'm not sure if I can do better; but I 'm going to try! LoL

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

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!
