Another Treatment

 Time for another treatment
maybe there will be no pain.
At times life's so wonderful
then the world turns insane.

Days pass, time exhibits age
dependent upon the meditation.
Most problems can't be solved
anxiety ease with meditation.

Upon arrival, must sign in
suddenly contentment appears.
To get better is the prayer
been struggling for years.

Treatments sometimes difficult
tho' satisfaction once there.
Purpose and meaning injected
emotions projected to share.

Confusion subsises, mind clears
obtain ability to cope.
PoetrySoup is the treatment
writing poetry is my dope.

Jan Allison Date: 1/14/2018 7:07:00 PM Oh i can relate so much Carl. If i hadn't picked up my pen when my hubby underwent cancer surgery i doubt I'd have coped with the last 4 years which have been so traumatic at times. I feel like I'm in a protective bubble when I write and try and write funny poems to make other folks smile - no one but us truly knows what is going on in our lives. If poetry is my dope i need an injection of it daily for life lol:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Carl Jent Date: 1/16/2018 1:15:00 AM Thanks for the comment Jan, I hope your hubby is doing well. I think all poetry get a certain high when a poem is completed. Your poetry is the best prescription on the market. I enjoy trying to write poetry and I enjoy reading good poetry such as yours. Thanks Carl 'Wayne' Jent

Judith S Date: 1/9/2018 12:03:00 PM I like that Carl ... writing poetry is my dope!! :) For so many of us here ... that is the truth. Agree with John ... cathartic. Nicely done. Best, Judy Login to Reply Carl Jent Date: 1/9/2018 4:57:00 PM Thanks Judith, I have a lot of fun writing poems that the reader thinks is going in one direction then become a little shocked when I turn the story line around. I will reading some of your work tonight, I read a lot of poems and need to comment more. Thanks

Arturo Michael Date: 1/8/2018 3:43:00 PM And a good dope it is...I have learned more from reading than writing...All the best Login to Reply Carl Jent Date: 1/9/2018 2:00:00 AM Thanks for the comment. I enjoy writing a poem that misleads the reader till the end or the last line catches them off guard. I am trying to lean more about writing poetry, I have always been in the technical or engineering field. Thanks.

John Gondolf Date: 1/8/2018 12:37:00 PM I have found that writing poetry can be very cathartic as well. I hope your write is fiction my friend. John Login to Reply Carl Jent Date: 1/9/2018 2:03:00 AM Well Jon it is another fiction. I wrote it this morning after my meditation and my stretching. Most of the poems I write are triggered by something I am doing or hear. I am entering another example called 'I can't see it" I almost started to cry, but it is fiction. Thanks Wayne
