Heart of a Poet

Poems are written at creativity’s behest,
and sometimes simply on request.
The words ebb and flow,
with emotions high and low.

Sometimes you just have to write,
to purge the hatred and spite.
Some days are filled with joy,
you simply want the world to enjoy.

From a frown’s crease,
the poetry brings release.
From a natural high,
the poetry does fly.

If my words can inspire,
and boost a soul so tired.
If my words bring hope,
in a world that can’t cope.

Then I know I’ve reached my aim,
by helping others feel again.

Neat imagery here, Jacqueline. Hoping my words outlive me by many years here on earth. Will there be poetry in heaven? I certainly hope so it is my means of expressing what bears up my soul.
