POETS
You know as well as I
irresistible attraction,
And we are in the sky
And we are the undercurrents.
A line breathes before us
Phenomena of Strength and Uselessness,
And in the center of the circle we are always
And we're running in circles.
We look into the mirror of fate
And how we dress up for the holiday,
Semi-masters and slaves,
We are gathering around the dark crypts.
And hearing the midnight fight,
Drunk with iron music,
We rush in a circular dance
Over the opening abyss.
Cemetery Lights Game
We are beckoned by fabulous charms,
Wherever there is death, we are right there with it,
Like smoky shadows - with fires.
And we, invisible, burn,
And disturbing someone else's dream with caresses,
And reign among the inexperienced
Madness, horror and fairy tales.
"The poet is always in the arms of the muse.
She is chasing him.
And it's nice to know what you need
You have given everything in verses to everyone."
Just wishing all my friends happy holidays.
Write, create, dare.
After all, everything can be said in poetry.
Best wishes to all. Rita

Happy Poetry Day beautiful,
Sometimes a little sad
But always unique
And immortal from the beginning!
Let the verses excite the soul
Make you smile
Be smarter and better
Plunge into the beautiful world!
Write a beautiful poem
And dilute the speech with a bright word -
You have no equal in such a matter,
I want to keep it all for you in life.
On World Poetry Day, I wish
Peace, inspiration and happiness,
Muse don't leave you
And masterpieces are often created.
Sometimes it hurts to be a poet
Tearing phrases from the heart ...
For everything in the answer to be involuntarily,
Yes, passing everywhere along the edge,
The world is reasonable, but stingy in soul,
And feelings are in short supply.
Indeed, in indifference, great evil
We need protection again!
When love comes to win
...and the day of poetry will begin
All neighbors will become relatives,
All of a sudden youth will return!
Poets of the world - nightingales of love,
For those who weave wreaths from ordinary words,
You are their souls, Lord, bless,
Sprinkle tender, poetic talents!
Give them happiness, joy, and peace
Leave for those who plow the land peacefully,
The poets of the world will all be with you,
Having drunk the power of the Divine cup!
Let the sun shine for you, thunder rumbles,
Everything in the world is sweet to the poet's soul,
Great success is flying towards you,
So that the soul pinched from happiness!
All poets, poetesses
Today I want to congratulate
Wish you inspiration
Loudly glorify your talent.
Let the rhyming lines
Born from the heart
May your poems always
People really like it.
Let the music come more often
Let her live with you
Let him throw thoughts
To burn with excitement of the eye.
