PoEtRy

A source of mental therapy
        This has become of mine
          Though its momentarily
          It makes my world shine

          I don't know much about poetry
          Weather profound or borderline
           Through times of adversity
           All I have at any given time

                 You could call my history
                That is put into this rhyme
                Perhaps the other side of me
                Just a little creative in design


                  written 2009 2010 updated part one of a two peace write
                     expressing what writing is to me 
   thank you to poetry soup poets for inspiration over last few years  xx

Poetry is one of the best medicines... Being a writer has helped me a great deal over the years, and I know the other poets here feel this way, too... You've expressed those same feelings well in this great piece. Nice work, David :)

Usually poetry is cathartic for me as well as fun however during this time of grieving for my mom and my empty Dad I often can’t find the words. God bless you, Poet!
