"A heart's blood flows like ink on pages of poetry." ~ by poet Pages of verse scream out loud like a child when their lines are not allowed to run wild. Abandoned, they cry, completion pending, waiting for pens to scribble an ending. Poets fill pages with enchanted dreams. Some lie all crumpled, without rhyming schemes, unpublished in tomes as lost reflections, replaced by so-called 'better selections.' Poems that purge angst and grief from the heart. Pangs they felt after being ripped apart. In ink, tears dripped from the nib of a quill Pages of anguish poets chose to spill With desire to scribe, their passion rages in each line they write 'pon parchment pages

Hi and thank you, John. I believe you're correct about the IV comment. I distinctly recall several times when the lines I wrote about some tragic event in life were like IV lines, infusing me with a resurgence of "Get over it."
