Poetry Is a Song of the Soul

Poetry is like opera to me.
It brings some, to your very soul’s gate!
Some poets only pen for a witty, rude
fast laugh.
I don’t think life is a bowl of chuckling human 
guffaws and gaffes!

Some will never comment to you.
So what? 
Make this not a popularity zoo, poetry is not akin to showing off
brand new shoes!
True friends are not like a bag of apocryphal popcorn!
Spitting philosophical gems like a dunce, all over a college dorm,

All kinds of varied, creative poets here!
Some write way too long, some too short.
Then, there are also, humble deep philosophers.
Find a few who make you purr.
Those that make your heart, stir!

**Read well known poets each day.
This is a must, a learning foray.**

These are just things I learned
since being here.
Beautiful poetry brings me to tears.
Cliches as comments should be
banned.
Empty and cold in this poet’s heart and 
hands.

Poetry affects you in many ways, it can make you think, laugh or cry and if it does any of those you've succeeded in writing a poem. Tom

How true...,also pass on cockeyed positions and Blame. The worst thing we can do. Listing names will not work List names of telephone numbers of each company.you have issue with. This is powerful. Let other poets know. Change comes from us. You can be powerful that way! I have gotten ads off of TV insuring the handicapped. It took months but it was removed. We have power over companies and government goofs. Name calling is ineffective. Pangie

Hello Robertina, I am glad to meet you. How lovely ,,,,poetry is Art motion. I do not think it’s a Porn shop for the Jokes in disguise here! I have done comedy. No porn needed. Plenty hate me here for saying so? I saw all the comments about me. One said.. “Remove her from PS.” How sweet of him. He’s one of my “followers?” That makes real sense.)) Friends like you keep me here. Visit again! Hugs, Pangie. I reply to all...Mom taught me thatKindness ....what a woman, she was! A Giver, not a taker! ))))
