A Warm Heart

A warm heart, yet…

It sizzles with anxiety

And melts away emotions

That still linger on.


A sincere heart, yet…

 It chokes with evasiveness

And chars  every feeling

That flickers with hope


A bleeding heart, yet…

One sleeve is left exposed

And burns with desire

To escape all flames


A singed heart, yet…

It smokes it’s own desire

And reasons with love

That flares without control

Tammy Snyder

Thank you very much for your kind words!

I have a few people that have written in on my one poem, so please bare with me, I want to look at your work as well, and when I do I will be sure to write to you my feelings!

I have been looking for free poetry contests but find that I have to "upgrade" (pay $$$) on some of these websites in order to post a free poem, go figger! Now with this website, it will take me some time to understand it all and I just really want to make one of my poems into a lyric, one poem made into a song can possibly make millions! haha! anyhoo, I read a little of your work, nice stuff ya got there Mr. (oops, Mrs., oops, Ms. Reason A. Poteet...for some reason I believe you are a man...am I correct?

Skat A Date: 2/17/2014 7:00:00 AM lovely and uplifting, Tammy, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT Login to Reply Tammy Snyder Date: 2/17/2014 9:50:00 AM Thank you very much, I appreciate that!
