How Poetry Is To Me

So to tell the tale of poetry one must start with the heart
A heart is the center of all emotions and thus said
It feel a range from the high of love to the deep dark pain of hell
Yes I know it tis' sad but cheer up all is not lost
For with this range of emotions this can turn into a great piece
For example I will try to write you a small poem on love

           My Love 
Many times I think you

You make my life complete

Life without you couldn't be

Oh you are my sunshine

very special lover and friend

Everyday I think of you



Now with this being said I do this for the love of poetry not to win any glory
you see I have suffered brain surgery where they cut open my right side of the brain I don't know if anybody paid much attention is science but I didn't it is where the memory is for spelling and all childhood and pretty much everything else so a person could just forget about it or try like me to relearn or regain so I write to learn 
to regain my vocabulary even with this computer I have to come up with enough letter to hit spell ck. I was once a person with a photographic memory and now I am reduce to doubting myself and having to use baby words so the computer can help me spell them and grammar that part has not and will not come back no matter how I pray.
So if you read my poetry comment I can take it I got big girl panties I will get up pull them right back up and start again and if I don't comment back it is because I don't know how. I am still reprograming my brain .

Congratulations Patricia. So glad this poem is here and I CAN read it without any problems. You deserve a bigger congratulations for writing poetry even if it comes hard to you. We are poets all in the same pot of soup and write differently so so what if something isn't perfect, you are a great poet.
