Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

A Poet's Realm

There is a magical realm in my world, where I feel no fear.
 A place of unique experiences, in which I never shed a tear.
 It's here that my senses are heightened, time and time again, 
where my imagination has no bounds with paper and my pen.

 A princess rescued and dragons roar in mystical lands I create 
Here, I write fairytale endings and determine a creature's fate 
In this amazing domain I view things without using my eyes. 
As a poet, I can conceive anything that ingenuity can devise. 

Sometimes, when I'm fast asleep, my heart travels in flight 
along paths of fanciful dreams, so I pick up my pen and write 
about things I see as I journey through my psyche's porthole 
penning marvelous adventures that burn deep inside my soul 

Maybe now you can understand this wonderful gift I possess 
In this magic place I am free from disappointment and stress. 
Alone with my thoughts I find beauty in balanced symmetry. 
Can you comprehend why I find pleasure in writing poetry?

Jenna Logan November 2, 2021 at 3:44 PM I’ve always thought of poetry as a sort of therapy session. Particularly helpful in times of sadness. Here’s hoping it does well in the contest. Mark Koplin November 13, 2021 at 5:27 AM That is a very good way of describing poetry. A therapy session.

L Milton Hankins November 2, 2021 at 9:15 AM Marvelous writing from both of you. I enjoyed the poem so much. Considering the number of poems submitted daily to PS, it's clear most of us "find immense pleasure in writing poetry." Thanks! Mark Koplin November 2, 2021 at 11:26 AM Thank you Milt!
