There are things

There are more things

to write about than the

secrets we hold inside

emotions we may want 

to reveal yet we choose

                  to hide

like a rushing tide tearing

into shore; a flood of words

 are there to be heard

yet, when thought of better

we.cannot utter a single letter

  

                   nary a word

we seek instead a soft flower's flair

so fair swaying 'neath a summer sun

or moonlight`s silken glow

chasing merriment that we may hold

the moments dear and not speak of

                  such things we may

                              know

This entire piece is breathtaking, but what made it even better was the rhyming. It was so spot on and so catchy, adding to the depth of the poem. It’s like each word was made for each other. It can be so difficult to write when your upset but sometimes it just pours out! If only it could always be like that. But when it does pour out, it’s the best feeling in the world.

Thanks Colacat ; for reviewing ..so very much appreciated

Your poem reminds me of the journey that a young writer may take from the starting point, blurting out those tender roiled-up feelings unvarnished . . . and then gradually being able to craft such intensity into sparkling symbolic imagery (((HUGS)))

...A poignant glimpse and a pleasure to the ear.
It speaks to where we live, at-once in a discombobulating world and in the privacy of our minds, two places that don't often intersect.
Thank you :)

This is so true. We like to say or write about happy notions, soft notions, that are not harmful to our inner being. But sadness, pain, struggle, brain fog, delusions. when it comes down to what is truly going on inside, we tend to hide deep in our core. We can't write a word. We somehow can't reveal our emotions; it's as if our psyche is about to explode, so much is hidden. I think this is very true, not only of poets ad writers, but generally speaking of al of us at times.
Beautifully written.
Best, B.

Thanks Betty..yes it's difficult to write
those inner deep core thoughts and
parts of our life down..so we opt for
ways around it with flowery verse
as our psyche safety mechanism
I so appreciate your reviews on
my poetry;

[Betty Hermelee]

This is a wonderful mix of emotions strung down with your hands and words.

[Fran Marie]

Thanks so very much

Many times we try to avoid tapping into those deep swelling thoughts and emotions because our feelings are too raw and open to be penned on paper. And sometimes we do write about the allowing the flood to break the dam.

[Fran Marie]

That's so true..i have to feel the
time is right after I have had time
to wrap my mind around some things
or grieving about someone..before
I write about it and post something
so sentimental..thanks for reading

[Poetic Beauty]

I am much the same way. If it comes to grief it can take me a very long time before I post about it.

So beautiful and I agree dear Fran.
"we seek instead a soft flower's flair

I loved the meaningful words above. We must write about the things. That make the heart dance and the mind wander. Thank you dear friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

So right dear Fran Marie we hold on to much that has hurt us. I have written poems which are not for publishing. This is a beautiful poem, lovely poetic expression and its meaning touched me. I understood.

[Fran Marie]

of poems too hurtful and perhaps so
personal held back and not published
