O poetry, you fickle thing
You bring both joy and suffering
And some may say I am obsessed -
You give me neither peace nor rest

So true, so beautifully and well expressed 10/10 Poetry is the master and we are her slaves, But who would not drown in her fantastic waves?

I agree with Thomas Jones but i have my own say here, i don't suspect rather believe that you have a familiar spirit and that too is a perfectionist kind - the one regarding the rhythm, meter, line and length, who does not commit an error in your perfect rhymes carrying your meaningful words clearly to the readers...your poetry is a true delight in all read-aloud experiences! this one is no exception in its beauty, so feel free under its power! ! !

O Valerie what an amazing piece of Poetry I can hear your voice reading with that slight humour that Pam Ayres would do yet with your gentle voice. Well deserved poet comments too.

I strongly suspect that you have a muse on your shoulder, who pops out at regular intervals and dictates a poem to your id. Little sonic echoes from deep within your subconscious. Then you reflect on it a little, marvel at where it came from, add a few refinements of your own, tone up the meter and away you go. Is that not so, Poetess?

Look what you have done Val. You have imprisoned your self as a free captive of poetry. Yet you refuse to walk our of your own poetic imprisonment. Yet you are free-, yet you are great! Well done my friend!

A great poem, we are slaves to poetry, no matter how long we stay away we always end up coming back. The words have us under a spell.

O poetry, you steal my mind Through your poem you have rightly pointed out the burdens that the poet carries. Every line becomes a great responsibility. It is not like writing something and get away with it. One has to face the readers who tend to believe what is printed or posted. One must note these realities. In spite of all this trouble an appreciative word provides relief to the poet. Great poem. We get inspired by your poem. Thank you.
