A Poetic Plight Poems never read, never shared for no one cared The heartaches, sorrow, despair no one was there. Nothing hurts quite as much as that it knocks one flat A crossroad the poets are at head in hands sat. The poets pray to God on high and angels sigh Then write the poems in the sky they’ll never die. Looking up to the stars at night poetry bright Answer to a poetic plight poets delight. *+*+* 26th May 2023

Ahhh!! Sometimes a poet's work is not known or understood until after a poet's death, but it is sad that they were not recognized while they could enjoy the satisfaction of knowing others enjoyed their work. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara

Oh, what a poignant composition, Belle. I too have penned numerous works that shall forever remain concealed, but there is a certain catharsis in releasing them from the confines of one's thoughts. Well done.

Thank you Sotto, I wonder should the secrets of my heart have been revealed, my post before this. I’m pondering on a yes or a no, not sure which way to go… Belle

Thank you Jennifer, it’s to be hoped our poems are written in the stars, that our loved ones and angels read them from afar. Hugs and blessings to you too dear friend… Belle

This is so true. Many poets do not read our poems. Sometimes I wonder why.

Thank you Victor, the main thing is the satisfaction of having our poems out there and being read, even if that’s by only a few… Belle

what a touching piece Belle, I am trying to encourage an on line friend to join us and share her poems she's written but never even shared with family. I've got many written down that will never see the light of day but it was so good to get them out of my system. hugs Jan xx

We write about our plights, we write about our insights. Shakespear wrote about our limited time up on the stage with our little life full of sound and fury, yet signifying nothing, a poets lament all not being heard or appreciated. Your answer is revealed in the starry night, God is listening. Your poem, Belle, touched me with profound emotional gravitas xhugsx

Thank you so much Anaya, I believe God listens to us if no one else does. Poetry is the expression of a poet’s happiest and darkest moments, a sharing of a commentary on the world's delights too. Hugs in return, Belle xx
