All Who Write Poetry

I have an obsession and fixation for words and writing poetry where I can get wrapped in melancholia or become free-floating in euphoria sometimes I get quite unhinged but I just have this urge to pen even death for it part of my life since my childhood but this writing madness is my thirst and I must feed this passion this compulsion in order to still my ravings oh in nature I get lost in my mind and I have a deep love for flowing streams and quiet green hued forests where birds sing me a symphony oh yes my ink must fall on white paper daily or I am sure madness would invade my mind and lunacy would not be far off but that is silly or is it for these fits of mania are just the hunger and need of all who write poetry __________________ June 23, 2021 Poetry/Verse/all who write poetry Copyright Protected, ID 06-1366-313-23 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, All Yours (June 23) sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 06/24/2021 First Place

Well, this poem sounds an echo with many a poet who has with pen a daily date. Congrats for the win.

Wonderful write. As I read it I felt I am not alone. Many like me. I guess you are right we all poets are alike.

Constance, I love this poem, we are all a little crazy, all poets, but if we were not how good would our poetry be! I hate it when i go out and forget my note book and pen, will just go and buy one immediately, for everyday subject matter for poems creep into my mind. BRAVO my friend, spoken and written like a true poet!

Hello Constance, I think poetry al the time. My ghost writer wakes me to write a title. Then I write my poetry. Sometimes I never know where my poetry ideas come from. Love, Darlene.

Ah, what wonderful expressions for all who can relate, and I suspect most of us can. Beautifully-written and full of images so important to those of us who write poetry, "flowing streams, quiet forests, "where birds sing me a symphony." Lovely.
