Frank Sheehan Poet Free verse

A Poet Is Never Alone

A Poet is never 
alone as long
as they have
a book of
Poetry with them
It's as if
the Author is
a personal friend
a confidant to
your private feelings
and thoughts
The book is
a great companion- - - - -
something to keep
you company
It feeds your
Soul in times
of loneliness, desolation
You can go anywhere
with this beautiful
friendship- - - - -all
on the page

Valsa George February 25, 2026 at 3:54 AM So very true, dear friend. Whenever I feel lonely or bored, I turn to poetry , either write a poem or read poetry.

Constance La France February 11, 2026 at 4:43 AM Frank, so true, a poet has a forever friend in poetry as everything in life can be expressed in penned words, we are so blessed, Constance

Andrea Dietrich January 28, 2026 at 4:32 PM I like this one even better. But it would have to be a poet you dearly loved. I have a few friends like that, whose every poem is a joy to read

Andrea Dietrich December 4, 2025 at 4:11 PM Very nice. I used to do journals. Not so much any more

Daniel Henry Rodgers December 4, 2025 at 8:00 AM Hello Frank, I loved your sentiment. I hear an insistence that words themselves can stand in for presence, yes. And sometimes the most enduring friendships are the ones we carry folded between covers. Autumn Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
