Notes About The Poem

Thanks to Jan Allison who reminded me today is National Poet Day!

Poetry Day

Positioning of words to create
Original ways to say
Everyday beauty, unique hurt
Truth is mystery, discovering
Roads of a day, or
Years to travel-

Devotion to your
Art may seem to others weird, but
You have friends here.

John Watt Date: 7/30/2020 7:47:00 PM Wow, I love all the bases you covered with this acrostic honoring poetry and the Soup. Loving the lines "Original ways to say / Everyday beauty, unique hurt". Grateful for your poetry friendship. ~ John Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 8/2/2020 4:16:00 PM As am I, John :)

Pat Adams Date: 9/1/2018 3:15:00 PM This has the ring of truth to it. I openly say I write poetry and am a part of poetry soup. They look at me a little funny sometimes but never say anything. (I'm actually a pretty big scary guy!) Very true and not a piece of cake form to work with!!! Well done!..80) Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 9/2/2018 3:27:00 PM It's true you can't judge someone by appearance, I like the idea of 'a big scary guy' writing poems!
