and take me to cloud nine
because being someone's muse
is the most important
bliss in my life

Will this complete?

Mimpi, That is a beautiful poem, and it is so well expressed. You have a wonderful gift with words.
Creative people in most forms of art always try to to find the right form of expression, trying to improve till they really think they got it right. Sometimes they want to say more, and in that process it never seems to get done. This is moreso with poets and writers i guess.Its the right combination of words that they seek to exactly express thier thoughts. And moreso, some works in which the writer or poet feel more incomplete on turn out to very well appreciated and accepted by the readers. It's the way the words connect.

The beauty of haiku is that it gets started and then...

I think, we should put things here in a manner of a discussion which I didn't here. It is just a poetry written and it didn't have any offshoot for a discussion. Mylot has changed in many fronts lately and I am not quite up to date so can't really tell. Thanks dear for sharing your views on this.

I never saw the rule Hatley mentions either. Oh, well.
I think that I shall never see
A rule with which I disagree
As much as the rule that well may be
against discussing poetry!
But hey, I didn't look it up. Common sense would suggest to me, however, that posting someone else's poem as a discussion would be against the guidelines. It is hard to fathom why it would be considered wrong to post one's own poem. Maybe somebody has a link that explains this.

oh mimpi1911 I guess you missed that one rule,, do not make poems a discussion, if you had worked this into a discussion it would not be deleted but just that one sentence pretty as it is rates as a poem and will be deleted, I am sure you did not know. If only you had made a discussion say about loving to write poetry then included that to let us
see your love of poetry it would not catch the mylot admins eye but standing alone its poetry, dont ask me why they have that rule but they do and probably I will be maybe the only responder as people bypass discussions they can see break the rules. perhaps you should re read the rules to refresh your memory. sorry.better luck next time ,just write a few sentences into a discussion on poetry then you could stick your poem into it and mylot would not squawk.

I know. It's a haiku which has 3 sentences with 5-7-5 break of syllables.
