For you
For you but you dart through future which memory your boys voice shouting out remainder of poems of which I know simply beginnings —Carolyn Kizer, "For Sappho/After Sappho," Gift of Tongues For you written January 18th, 2021 My future self I want you to have songs in your heart and your tongue. I need to see you darting through future boldly singing chanting screaming crying that today are unimagined and unborn. Beginnings are anything but simple but for you to be comfortable having a voice I have to start today. So I write these which feel so inadequate forcing myself not be mute for you. |

I often get inspiration to write from reading other poetry. I try to read some poetry every day. The quote from a poem at the top of this poem is from an anthology which is a favorite of mine, from Copper Canyon Press. I'm not good at formatting these things, but I want the quote to be before the poem, and for it to be clear they are not my words. In time I'll find something that looks better.

You did it right. There's also a song by John Denver called "For You."

Got to love the word eater. One solution is to repost your whole post as your first comment. A tad bit extra work but at least it preserves your work for all to see properly. Lovely poem. Using other works as a jumping off point doesn’t dilute the fact you created something wonderful. And you also formatted it nicely. I love the idea of addressing your future self. It not only shows a positivity in you but a willingness to change. Bravo. Hugs. My name is MrWrong and I approved this comment
