Poem 119 – Prayer Ode to the Book Launch

Prayer Ode to the Book Launch

Oh celebration!
of word-filled hours
pulling meanings from
the stars & making
magic with cursive & type

Oh justified jubilation!
of the heart’s messages
made miracle into
form & shape the scent
of blood-ink
collected & bound
for hands & hearts
to hold

Oh electric magnificence!
on the busy tech highway
join voices & faces in
time & space to hear
& see & feel the
culmination of a
trembling writer’s
soul without hitch
or glitch

Oh inkslinger creative!
steady your nerves
& trust the reverberation
of your literary dreams
as they expand exponentially
in the extraordinary bigness
of your book baby’s
launch into the universe

  1. Your book launch was amazing my friend. Truly beautiful and the video was awesome! Holy smokes, Nick did a kick ass job!!!

    You had me in tears. I truly love this book you’ve written Vanessa. To me, it’s your crowning achievement. And it’s 100% heart and soul.

    I was a few minutes late, my apologies, I got stuck at work. Been working a stupid amount of hours, but it’s worth it ♥

    Love you, Tracey
