Genesis

The want of love’s the muse that moves my heart
and generates the verse that grows within,
an unrequited flame that does impart
sweet sentiments that flow into my pen.

This stood alone at the second spot, Janis, and is just so effortless to roll off the tongue, and it does so with beauty and grace and the expression of joy and connection that we all feel as writers ... really LOVED this piece, and I am STUNNED that there are not comments before mine ... you must have the same affliction I do these days, lol. Blessings and thanks for entering, Dear Poet! :o) <3
