Contest-Word Play

I use my imagination with,

Lovely words and rhymes
On paper, to captivate and
Vigorate and stimulate
Every part of my soul!

Telling secrets of my subconscious
Or  what's in the midst of my heart

Words give life to the unseen world!
Rhymes allow me to fly with wings
I soar above the hate in a cruel world
Transfixing my being to a state of peace
Eagerly I wait for my muse to take control

Positivity infused with reality create,
Optimistic words, written in darkness 
Even when I feel sad and blue
The written word begins to heal me, I
Realized that it was medicine to my soul, I
Yearn and crave poetry every single day

Well done Alexis. It's so true how healing it can be. However, now I am healed, I think I will take the plaster cast off and delete....

Alexis you have many poets that will agree with you - I started writing poetry when I was still in my teens, and then had a 5 year break, started again, and then a year break and so on. It wasn't until a friend of mine read my poems and asked me what I was going to do about posting them that I searched and found Poetry Soup in August last year. I have made so many new friends and a couple of mentors - I have never felt happier. Relate to and love your poem. Poetry hugs and wishes, Jennifer.

I especially can relate to the final stanza Alexis starting to write poetry certainly has been healing for me:-) hugs Jan xx
