Susan Manley Poet Rhyme

And that my dear is a poem

Many do not love my direct way
They shy from the truth

many just loved my looks 
in my happy youth

some liked the achievements i had and wanted in on my fame
And some thought what I did for a living was kiddie stuff and kind of lame

So it's a conundrum you see, when you talk about me
It's up down sideways philosophy

I am never stagnant and forever growing
and the depth of who and what I am is possibility overflowing

I have walked through fire
and I am full of desire

And I create at the drop of a hat
and in minutes spit out a new artistic rap

My muse is now inside me
and fuels me from within

And my life is invigorated 
I know I don't live by whim

Its purpose plan and accomplishment
which will drive my final goals

A story to tell the world 
that as of yet was untold

And that my dear is a poem  12-4-23  Artimus (C) Susan Manley

Silent One December 4, 2023 at 1:52 PM Deep introspection Susan..So much to process here..you have a wonderful way to express.. Susan Manley December 4, 2023 at 3:57 PM And its always nice to hear from the poet I admire. Who writes with poetic artistic expression and to whom I aspire. Thank you for your words. As you know I am refocusing self. Poetry after all is a bit of self help.
