Forget Me Nots

She craves the Likes
With those comments so much
It’s proof there are some souls
She’s been able to touch

So she writes in the morning
well into the night
Trying to find that magic
to reveal her inner light

Yes poetry is her drug
a place that seems so real
Her world without borders
where she’s able to feel

Not restricted by society
in this place she’s a Queen
A flower of the desert
or a hero from a movie scene

Sensual and adventurous 
No limitations for her
A temptress extraordinaire  
able to make strong men purr

No impossible mountain 
all of them she can climb
She can even be a villain
for a moment in time

Every story she shares
is a pearl from her mind
Do not pass by to quickly
there are treasures to find

So as you read her words
offer her some thoughts 
For this word worthy habit
is a garden, of Forget-Me-Nots

Richard, one of my mother's favorite flowers were Forget -me -Nots. She was a writer too. "Writing was her drug, her world without borders" Sometimes her air. Your 4th stanza reminded me of her. It was one of my favorites. She passed 12 years ago and this stanza of your poem will make me think of her all day. This is a beautiful lovely poem, as was she to me.

That's awesome but is she an imaginary person or have you written this poem to honor one of our fellow poetes

This is true for many poets. Writing is a “word worthy habit”, my “world without borders”. Thank you

She's a mystery, so interesting, so many talents wrapped up into one. What a fun poem to read. I enjoyed it very much. My favorite line is "Every story she shares is a pearl from her mind"
