Alison A Smith Poet Free verse

Emotions

Egotistic no doubt about it
Moody that cant be denied
Outrageous with all the trimmings
Tempting with thought and word
Inspiring in times of need
Organised well close any way
Noisy, the life of every party.
Scared to reveal your reality

So many emotions tangled tight
We wear them all the time
Some we hide so no one sees
What emotions flow through you today?

Sotto Poet July 20, 2026 at 2:21 AM Excellent! At one time, some people's attitudes were full of charisma and chatter... Alison A Smith July 20, 2026 at 4:19 AM Maybe we need to restore these attitudes.

Victor Buhagiar July 20, 2026 at 1:33 AM Wonderful poem. We should strive for the right emotions. After all poetry is emotions.

Ghairo Daniels May 26, 2026 at 11:46 AM Very interesting skit on emotions, Alison. Good capture indicating that emotions are integral to personality. They move through us as winds & come & go as context dictates. Really enjoyed this line : “ Outrageous with all the trimmings”. Well written. ThkU for sharing., Ghairo.
