Poetry Is the Vehicle

Poetry is relatively new to me Spent a lifetime just trying to survive To explore deep down, never had the time To discover what's hiding inside Unearthed an exciting and brand new world That I've only begun to explore Poetry is the vehicle on which I now ride Opening intriguing new doors Providing journeys to exotic places To experience for the very first time A whole new world not previously known Residing deep down in my mind Never been known as a philosopher 'Hands on' has always described me Words are now just clamouring to get out Fingers are flying cross the keys So thank you P-Soup for setting me free To allow what's inside to emerge Providing my soul with a daily platform On which to satisfy my urge © Jack Ellison 2013

And as I, a fellow poet, I must say your talent is always a pleasure to read every day my friend! I love the way you express yourself Jack! Poetry is a lifesaver for me as I have discovered it many years ago when I was in dire need of something to express myself! Like you said, "a vehicle on which I now ride" great line there! I really loved reading this fantastic poem this morning! What a lovely piece, Great Work!!
