Mike Hauser Poet Light Verse

Poetry, I May Never Know

i wonder if i ever 

let go this pen

and no longer gave 

the words their say

would that freedom 

reshape the man i am

would i rue the day

that poetry 

doesn't have a hold of me

the very thought 

makes me afraid

it would be like 

letting go the hand 

of my closest friend 

that always gets her way

yet there seems to be 

comfort in this cancer

pleasure in its pain

am i truly looking 

for an answer

would i listen anyway

to the contemplate 

of the letting go

of this pen 

i tightly grip a hold

my friend my lover 

i at times loath

is something 

i may never know

Jennifer Proxenos November 10, 2018 at 2:00 AM Hi Mike you have voiced a thought that I think all of us sometime have, but without poetry I would also be a very sad human being. When pen hits paper or fingers the computer, I pull out all the stops and find myself in fantasy land - such food for the soul Best wishes, Jennifer
