Poetry Balm

Poetry is a tranquil balm 
Healing for one’s frangible heart
A symphony of peace and charm 
The tempo climbing up the chart.

Healing for one's frangible heart
A roam through undiscovered land
The tempo climbing up the chart 
Led from the palm of the poet's hand.

A roam through undiscovered land
Idioms of dreams fantasy
Led from the palm of the poet's hand
An escape from reality.

Idioms of dreams fantasy
Scenes from a golden long ago
An escape from reality.
O’er the breeze fond echoes blow.

Scenes from a golden long ago
A symphony of peace and charm
O’er the breeze fond echoes blow
Poetry is a tranquil balm.

Reads like a good contender to me. Poetry can be a balm or a flame stirrer for it is so versatile it can be anything. Enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for the visit to my page. I appreciate the time spent there. Sara

Ah, Belle, a most beautiful pantoum. Indeed, poetry is a balm for breakable hearts. I love the use of the word "frangible", a wondrous word. I melted into the splendid and healing spirit of your soothing poem. The vivid yet tranquil imagery truly is a "A symphony of peace and charm"! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
