A Poet's Heart

Just a silly little rhyme to display my frustration with always being so emotional, and wanting to share it with the world. Anyone else feel this way?

There is a feeling deep inside

one that roves my heart like an ocean wide

I wish I knew when it started

so I could anticipate when it's departed.

No one knows at what depths these lie

the feelings buried deep beneath, past the eye

Sentiments subvert me most of the time

creating the most foolish of "rhymes".

Even this short cannot fully express

the mood that likes to leave my heart undressed

For my life will always be open for all to peruse

should I shut the book? Only I can choose.

But what can I do- it's here to stay

these emotions that roll day after day

A poet I suppose I will forever be

until those writhings decide to undertake me.

A lovely poem. A fitting tribute to the poets in here, and throughout the world.

A very good choice of words here, with a very tender undertone and flow.

An emotional poet, is a good poet, Sarah. Great poetry flows from such strong emotions. I am like that. And it shows in my poems. Write from the heart. Never fear it. Let the words flow.
A very beautiful poem.

Thank you Doodley. What an encouraging review. You are right, sometimes I hate emotions (there in itself is proof I can't not listen to them!) but what release is felt in putting them to paper. Thank you for the encouragement :)
