Poetry Journals
Poetry's a way of writing a journal Of things joyful, sad or controversial Poets write of friendship and memoirs shared Or despair at end of a love affair. They write of the seasons that come and pass Of moonlight beams and stellar stars amass Stories of Christmas and all that it means Of witches, ghosts and ghouls at Halloween. Poets tell tales of their husbands or wives Children and joys they bestow on their lives Mother's and father's and the in-laws too Brothers and sisters, all things that they do. Some write of their youth and of their school days A time lacking worries, blissful always Of growing up and finding love that's true Best poetry comes from what love can do. When poets come to writing their last page Afore departure from the worldwide stage It's hoped their poems become history When poets have flown to eternity. *+*+*+* 30th April 2023 UP TO 20 LINES Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Sotto Poet

In many ways, you've nailed what poetry is --- a mirror to the soul and the psyche over a long period of time = Personal Journal and Journey

Thank you Gershon, Poetry is a journey poets take, a journey that has no ending, that is until our lives end. If our poetry is archived then the journey’s worthwhile… Belle
