Refuge

"Writing is my refuge. It's where I go. It's where I find that integrity I have." ~ Charles Bartlett Johnson Whenever my days seem long and all my tasks turn out wrong, And I wish the things I had not said and feels like turning over and play dead... Ha, I sit down ruefully and I write! When someone somewhere gets hurt When a lively flower bites the dirt When somewhere someone’s heart breaks and sneaks into a corner and quietly aches... Oh, I sit down woefully and I write! On the wings of the wind I write On the waves of the sea I write I write for all to see, feel and hear, Write I about love, hate, faith and fear... O yeah, lo! Now thou know why I write. ~04/03/23 ~Contest: Writing Challenge 'R' words ~Sponsor: Constance La France

This certainly deserved its 1st place win. I am now reading it for the first time, and I am enthralled. Glad that you wrote this one Abdul. Its magic. I think you speak for poets everywhere, we are a strange breed who immediately rush to put our feelings or our brilliance, or describe something beautiful we have seen into a poem. Thank you for this lovely creation and congratulations for your win. Best wishes Wendy
