How Poetry Heals

How Poetry Heals

First , it drags you out of your noggin.
Where perhaps, odd thoughts were crashing into snow like sled bobbin'!

You looked at your poetry and pondered,
what is right or wrong?
Should I write, only to get cheers from the throng?

Next, most hopeless of all.. you frantically send them it to family and friends.
This is worse than going under the sea ot
get the bends

Their responses is less than appealing
 "I can't open the link"or when did you sent 
it?
Their cover ups are hardly concealing.

Finally, you stop questioning and say what
the heck?
I am tired of writing to please others,
It turns me into a majestic wreck!

You~by odd chance find a poetry site on line
Ah, now your life is getting just fine!

Out comes your parchment and your pen 
Then you let the true poet soul shine, again!
