Poetry

She has given me a reason to get up in the morning
Something to look forward to,
She delights me, excites me, enthuses me, bamboozles me.
Poetry!

She has brought friends my way in the form of followers.
I am now a cult leader, revered and adored.
She has uplifted me, and has gifted me with positivity and mirth
Poetry!

Now my doctor and hairdresser, she has kept me afloat during a pandemic
A time in my life where my only friend, and best life line 
is actually a subject rather than a person
Poetry!

She has awakened me in the middle of the night 
Feeding me lines during my sleep, 
being my protector, my lover, my cheerleader, my friend, my family!
Poetry!

Sometimes those ideas pop into my mind, and I won't rest until I put them down on paper so I won't forget them. Aren't we glad we have a site like this to express and share what we have formulated?

Awesome! Yes, poetry has been a lifesaver for me, too. As I have aged and have little more to contribute careerwise, I find great comfort in reading and writing poetry and in the friendships I have cultivated here. Poetry has become my partner now that Deb is gone.

I enjoy the truth of your statements. A fickle mistress though, capable of lifting you to the heights and then abandoning you without a word of explanation. Very nicely written, thank you.
