Rating: 2.9

We poet's need, his or her outlet!
Where we can write down the words that clutter up our minds.
It is a curse to have such a talent
placing ones feelings, of words sometimes in rhyme.

I thank God for poetry... to me it's the pulse of the human soul put on display for all to see that underneath we are as one. Thanks for your fine expression of poetry.

An interesting poem and very true about poetry, it's a poet's outlet.

Words, give us a reason to write, ideas come to us naturally, you are right it is our outlet. For me poetry gave me a tool to put my ideas, beliefs and philosophy, so I could share them with them all. 'Rhyming words doing verbs/ In fact all sort of words, / Some change, some rearrange, / as they dance across the page.' Bob

So true we all write differently and for different reasons, but mostly because the words won't stop. Mine come at night when I try to sleep and then fad with the morning light levaing me to wonder if it made sence at all or was I in a dream. T

I think this currents, ' two twenty? ' Because, I go about writing, real fast I love it when the ideas come fast enough to just write as quickly as I can. Don't happen very often, for me. A great poem, Linda and I like your open philosophy about poetry. I, too prefer great rhyming but I enjoy others also. Thanks, best wishes. Richard

Thank you sis for these wonderful words in tribute to our craft. Yes, we sometimes sit and ponder what those words in our mind mean, and so we write them out to see if they make any sense. I have so many thoughts rumbling around in my head, that this scrambled mind is so very cluttered with what I have yet to share. You have done every poet proud with this write. Thank you. Love & hugs, Barbara
