Poetry Gets Me Through

When the wind blows the sun away And clouds look as if they are here to stay I pick up pen and pad to write all day It helps end my blues when I can sit and play If life works up some feelings of loss and dismay Then all around me my house is in decay I open doors to let in the earths amazing bouquet Just pen some poetry or write an essay For its words that help me get though the fray To let out frustrations that turned me a dull grey I recall my blessings of life’s miracle cabaret My magic potion for what comes along my way Written: 9-10-2019 Sponsored by: Caren Krutsinger Any Poem You Want to Write 180 words or Less Poetry Contest 3rd place. thank you!
