If There Was No Poetry

I could not make sense
of the wonder
would stand 
bewildered and mute

I could not open
and let out
the feelings that well
from my depth

I could not speak truth
and would choke 
on the unsaid words
in my throat

A excellent message and a great description of the torment a person goes through if he/she were responsible for the deaths of people due to their driving negligence. An excellent read my friend Tom, Congratulations on your wonderful honor of POTD. Blessings Jennifer.

Jennifer, you wrote this comment for Tom on 1/25, but it shows up as comment on my poem from the day before. Perhaps copy it over so he can see it? It's probably a glitch in Soup

"I could not speak truth and would choke on the unsaid words in my throat" A powerful way to express how it would feel- "if there was no poetry" Oh my!! Not being able to share emotions from the heart through words, that would be terrible indeed. I am so thankful that we can. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. Congratulations Agnes, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy
