Days Without Poetry

Days without poetry are like days without sunshine
Our thoughts stay hidden and cold
The world's not as beautiful and is lacking that glow
Until we allow our love words to roll

A day without poetry is so sad and without passion
Doesn't allow our feelings to share
We're not really able to express our desires
We're sometimes too embarrassed to dare

But poetry will usually do away with inhibitions
We're free to use those flowery terms
The kind that are used by the greatest of poets
You too can sound like Robbie Burns

Days without poetry are like days without sunshine
But allow us to be happy and share
Our feelings of happiness and absolute joy
There's a feeling of goodwill in the air

Marquis Mc Mills-Cooper November 1, 2013 at 4:08 PM You know Jack I equate this to my days of writer's block which happen frequently. I'll have long spells of weeks or more with nothing wanting to come out from this old heart of mine. Great job expressing that feeling in words! MC Jack Ellison November 1, 2013 at 5:30 PM You are very kind my friend! Guess it's a subject that we're pretty well all afflicted by from time to time! Must always remember, eventually those words start rolling out again! PATIENCE is the name of the game! Thanks again MC for dropping by!!!

Carol Eastman October 27, 2013 at 9:41 AM My poetry brings my little friends to life... The day would be sad without them... And without Jack to write off of... Where would I be?... Left with Dragon of course... LOL.... Dragon's jealous that I wrote my first blog with him in it and no one mentioned him in response... Poor Dragon! Gave he more of my make believe birthday cake and he was happy again... Food always distracts him you know... LOL Jack Ellison October 27, 2013 at 9:55 AM Happy Sunday my good and loyal friend! Food does it for me too! Love sweets like Lemon Meringue Pie or Butterscotch Pie!!! Yum yum yum Hugs xoxoxox
