In Praise Of Opusseers

Opusseers - you're many, diverse
And you brighten these hours with quotes, prose and verse.
I've seen tears of laughter roll fat off my cheeks
And inspiring words which stayed with me for weeks.
I been moved and unsettled,
Assumptions all challenged,
I see my shortcomings (see? I can't rhyme 'challenged')
You're clever, surprising and never predicted -
Not sure you're aware of emotions inflicted!
You find words for ideas that I cannot express
All the dreams and the fears that I just can't address
You bring names to our pain and you make the soul sing
You are fearless and honest - that means... everything.

Calligrams, ditties, soul-searching reflections
Erotic dark thrillers that inspire erec... Uh... Inspections.
Though battered and troubled you laugh and inspire
I've rarely felt writing imbued with such fire.

You're daring, load-bearing and so beautifully strange
Exotic and vision'ry and agents for change.
You're kind and constructive and not ever spiteful
And comments alone can bring wit that's delightful

I know it seems gushing and I'm trying to flatter...
But I think this needs saying - a real subject matter:
My unknowing companions, here's to all of you friends,
In hope that your genius and work never ends.

Each Opusseer is unique and beautiful in their own way :)

I hope your work never ends. Your words are beautiful.

Awesome poem and perfect truth 😃

Sincerely meant folks - I've yet to find an app or site that's as constructive and enjoyable as this. And There's no real malice in anyone unlike some other social networking

@wolfie Epic :)

I love this😄

@frozentunez @RDE @MrAlex @Stablish Lol -one last thing before I make everyone hurl from over-sentimentality... Thanks, but this one was inspired by you... So all of the gushing stuff is YOUR fault :-)

@Weirdwolf oops, missed you. It definitely applies to the weird master himself

@wolfie I think it's fair to say you inspire us just as much 😉

Flattered☺, you can never be to sentimental, the funny thing is even though this is just an app these memories will last forever. Great times with great people😄 @MrAlex @wolfie @RDE @frozentunez @wierdwolf

This is quite something. I don't consider myself overly eloquent or talented, but this Opuss thing has cut me to the quick. I've never been compelled to write anything before (other than the odd letter), but there is so much inspiration gushing from this little app. I'm astonished it is free. So well rhymed, such kind words, an oasis of delight in an otherwise jaded AppStore.

@yowwa don't be daft... Just read your pieces. Check out Stevo's writing guys :-) it's great. But well said about this app.

Lovely thanks 😊

Absolutely beautiful. I've just been contemplating the same sentiment. It's a special place here and your presence makes it that much richer!

@wolfie now where is that love button? LOVED this, very nice piece of writing oh, and did I mention I love it?

With humor, and poetry. Perfecto👏

@Stablish @wolfie glad to have inspire and br inspired by all of you :)

@wolfie very nice sir and flattered as I'm sure we all are, don't forget you're an Opusseer too, so be accepting some of your own flattery mate! Boomdidiboom! 😉

I commend you on your beautiful rhyming skills good sir!

Thanks to you all for the positive comments... But I couldn't have written it if you weren't all so bloody good at writing. Been reading some the latest posts tonight. Just excellent - there are pieces i've read on Opuss which wouldn't look out of place in a published selection of contemporary writers and also classic ones

I love it when somebody like you captures exactly what this community means! Mucho praise m'dear!

@renagade146 glad you think the same way and thanks

@blindsilence thanks for the repost sir

Amazing poem very funny :)
