Empathy Plays My Poet's Heart

Empathy plays my poet’s heart
Most of my doubts concealed artfully
Worries play such a minor part,
As my poems are created heart-fully.

Well-expressed!!! Thanks for your empathy I always feel, not just thru your poetry, but thru your compliments and comments as well. By the way, my country, the Philippines is called "The Pearl of the Orient Seas." May you be warmed by the Lord's grace... God bless you.

Thank you so much Beata. I wondered because I have so many great friends who are from the Philippines, yet none of them have ever told me this.

Well done Caren! This is a very encouraging piece assuring us all that a bit of trepidation is simply part of the package. Congratulations!

It is indeed a LARGE component, my friend. And the more vulnerable, the better the poem I believe.
