I Write Poetry #2

I Write Poetry #2

A Poem by Barbara Walker
"

Another version of a poem of mine

"
People write poetry for diverse reasons,
as in poems that describe the yearly seasons.
Poems can show the love for Mother and Father
and vent against the boyfriend of your daughter.

You can express your feelings about a day at the beach,
nothing, is out of poetry's reach.
Beautiful poetry can make your heart soar
and bring alive days of yore.

It can make kings of old come alive
or make you sad enough to cry.
Poetry can describe angels performing a celestial dance
or any other circumstance.

Poetry can help relationships mend
and it can, also, help them end.
I have put pen to paper, describing a summer day's ice-cream cone
and to express feelings of being alone.

Poetry, will always,
be a part of my life,
writing of the good
and writing of the strife.

I agree with your thoughts. I write for the same reasons. Good to release good and bad upon a sheet of paper. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in the excellent poem.

I am really not into poetry. But I enjoyed this. It reminded me of Shel Silverstein.
