No Particular Subject

 

They're but mere thoughts upon paper
elected utensil 'tis the mighty pen
It slides across white parchment
becoming a wordmaker
combined with action from one's hand

No particular subject
A poet writes of many things
A concave line~here~ and ~there
lends a little decor zing.

You need not attain a license
nor a prestigous college degree
Poetry evolves from within, a sixth sense
what is in your soul for all to see.

So fidget and fuss, if you must
because haste makes waste,
so we are told
Nevertheless,take your pen from case
Lest it turns to rust.
and you'll rescue your words to unfold.

For a Poet has his pen
and 'Tis mightier than the sword'
and writes of dreams so beautiful
A gift to guide the world.

Well, I know that I am often unsure about what I am writing and definitely about sharing it...but this piece makes me feel braver about it, if I don't need a license or a college degree...but can just write to bring out that which is within, thanks so much for your writing Fran, and your inspiration!

A pen is mightier than the sword..huh!! I think poetry of any form is a gift that not all people have..It isn't the education like you say as I was rhyming at 3 as my mom read me her poems..I have all ways been making rhymes and when I was older wrote them down..I also paint and really love doing that the best,,Nice write,,,God bless..Valentine

The pen truly is mightier than the sword! Words can make you or they can break you, tis so true, from this poet's point of view.
