Poems

Poems flowing from my heart
Words filling sheets of paper
Feelings pouring through stanzas
Until rhymes make sense

Who says what should be written
Who says what should be felt
Only who writes knows the first
Only who reads capture the last

My words can resonate in some hearts
It can pass unfelt through the rest
It'll grow roots in someone's lives
It'll be ignored by the mass

And that's okay, you see
Because it's impossible to please everyone
I hope who matters will read
And my words will have a life of their own...

Oh and a fave (you can rate poems you read, the box to do that is right above the comments box, rating from 1-7) and all the way to the top of the poem is a possibility to 'fave' (favourite) a poem.

Exactly, this is poetry to a tee, well at least the sharing part. This poem is one of the best poems about poems I have read. Love that last stanza.

OMG I'm speechless - thanks for your words Chris! That means a lot. Until last month I had never show my poems to anyone. Didn't thought they were any good. Darren was the first person whom i shared them and his words of encouragement gave me the confidence to keep writing and to share my poems.
