Stream of Consciousness Poetry Contest
Step aside, outside your own specificity—
Let the spirit speak through you, uninterrupted
Be like a ring held up high in the air, unfiltered
Until the ring dissolves into a fluttering ribbon
That, in turn, is absorbed in the belly of being...

This is my submission to @jessandthesea's poetry contest where 'the winner will see their poem written on herself, the human canvas.'
LOVEEEE <3 thank you so much for participating!
Ah, off to dreamland with a smile on my face :) Glad you enjoyed that, it was my pleasure ❤️
This would work really well as body art:)
Hey, thanks, for the endorsement :)
If she chooses this one, I think I know where she might write it!
Oh, my... Haven't a clue what you're referring to, but intrigued!
I was just thinking she might write it on her stomach?
Hah, would you believe (space case that I am) that did not even occur to me?! I was thinking of a metaphysical belly :o Now, that you mention it, that would work, nicely :D
Quite an excellent entry!
Happy it resonates :) Thanks, for the encouragement!
I like the imagery of a ring allowing the spirit through, then even the ring itself is dissolved, maximum spirit flow. :-) Thanks for sharing your talent.
As Nietzsche put it:
Thank you, for hearing me and for your sensitive comment. 🙏🏼
great poetry. although I do not really understand the meaning. but, spirit!
I'm glad you got something out of it--I, too, enjoy poetry that I do not, fully, understand :)
