a tribute to poetry

i had some time, and i felt like it so there it may not be very good, but it's got my soul in it,

the rushing binding words,

that slows down to a trickle

a stream of idea

that never runs dry.

 

Words so beautifully crafted,

yet never, ever outdated

they reach our innermost selves

they help fight personal hells.

 

poetry is like a dance

elegantly dressed ballroom debutante

waiting for a suitor,

to write her, serenade her, in colorful song

 

poetry fills my mind these nights

as i lie,

dead awake,

thinking about rhyme and verse,

 

that's how poems are made.

This is so cool! I love it :) To craft poetry into words is not as easy as people think lol
Beautifully paced and worded!

Amazing! I love how you have proved that a poem doesn't have to rhyme to be beautifully written! This is a wonderful poem, and I can tell you've put your heart and soul into this. Great job!

Keep writing!

For ten years I had seizures...in the night I would get up, write a perfect piece of poetry...find it in the morning and not know I had did it..I am over the seizures after prayer healing, but i lost the night writes which were some of my best..expression is so good in all ways using soft words,,Valentine
