Poetry is more than rhyme and verse It brings light and laughter to the earth Poetry begins inside the heart and soul Giving back to the heavens some console Poetry heals, hopes and defines mysteries Will take the poet down through histories Poetry encourages, enlightens and enlivens Capturing the love that flows and energizes Poetry combines the words to bring insight Magical poems who grace the world write Poetry opens the doors to dreams within Teaching the spirit just where it should begin Poetry amazes, awes and gives inspiration Awakens the mind to the gifts found in creation Poetry is more than words and phrases It draws images of its muse with sweet praises Poetry is alive, a fire burning through the night Showing it’s flaming delight with brilliant light Poetry brings my feelings out into the sunshine Where they are comforted and never pine Poetry clarifies, imagines and cures anguish Promising the heart that it will never languish Poetry knows the weakness and strength And the poet must go to most any length To reveal the heart and soul, the inside That yearns to give back all it can confide The joy, hope, peace and faith, all smiles Flowing with the whispers of Godly styles A Poet’s Duty Poetry Contest Sponsored by Beth Evans October 6, 2020

This poem sparkles my friend, you have explained so creatively how sensitive, loving, amazing and blissful poetry can be - one can become totally consumed by it - a wonderful poem Gina and best of luck in the contest. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
