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

those things...eventually they come out, but we can be pretty good at hiding them behind metaphor, clever rhyme schemes and exceptional alliteration just like you have used here.

this one sings to me.

Thanks Jacob..so true.things are hidden yet revealed beneath the metaphors etc for decoding and such.. glad you liked this one

Not sure if this one is stating a truth or advising restraint. There is a time to speak and a time to refrain from speaking.

Thank John..I think it's timing for me
Somethings just have to wait to be
released at the write j time

Hello, Fran! :)
This is a beautiful poem of thoughtful lovely lines.
"we seek instead a soft flower's flair
so fair swaying 'neath a summer sun"
I tend to make up poems in the shower, and forget them by the time I find a pen. Its a curse. Haha
So, when I want to write, I'll sit with my feet up, with my iPad on my lap, and just relax. Sometimes it gets me a poem, other times, it gets me a nap.
How do you write?

[Fran Marie]

Thanks Matt..I usually sit with coke or coffee
and start writing also sometimes writers block
occurs..sometimes I dream a poem if I can remember it ..I hear ya about the curse
