Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Poetic Plight

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.

Sara Kendrick June 1, 2023 at 3:20 AM 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 Beryl Edmonds June 19, 2023 at 12:55 AM Thank you Sara, it’s good that there’s poetry sites such as PoetrySoup as we can get our poetry aired and read by some which is wonderful for us who love to write… Belle

Sotto Poet May 31, 2023 at 8:07 AM 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. Beryl Edmonds May 31, 2023 at 8:47 AM 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

Beryl Edmonds May 30, 2023 at 3:21 PM 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

Victor Buhagiar May 26, 2023 at 1:01 AM This is so true. Many poets do not read our poems. Sometimes I wonder why. Beryl Edmonds May 26, 2023 at 1:28 AM 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

Jan Allison May 25, 2023 at 11:29 PM 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 Beryl Edmonds May 26, 2023 at 1:23 AM Thank you Jan, I do hope your friend joins the site and shares her poetry with us, it’s such a shame to let poems go unread. Hugs, Belle xx

I Am Anaya May 25, 2023 at 7:40 PM 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 Beryl Edmonds May 26, 2023 at 1:14 AM 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
