Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

A Hunger and a Need

 
my writing is a silent art
practiced in the hush of night
when the moon is glowing
and my cat is sleeping in her bed
softly snoring and purring
and from my heart and soul I write, the
words falling on my pages, I
write of the dead, and
of nature breathtakingly beautiful, my
pen finds grief, and love
and for all this I receive no wage
for this art of words
is a hunger and a need
