Scott Thirtyseven Poet Free verse

Spend the Day With Poetry

Life comes at you
through a haze of words
distorted and cloaked
by the grey murk of meaning.
Its shape becomes solid
as it passes through
the last droplets of syllables.
In its flurry
Life knocks you aside
with a whoosh of stuff.
Leaving you stumbling
in its slip stream
wishing 
you could spend the day
with poetry.

Arlene Smith February 25, 2015 at 5:07 PM A bit embarrassed to say that I only started to read poetry at 52 years young.. now I can't imagine life without it. I was missing a beautiful world.. Hugs my friend.. Arlene

I do have ONE poem that was used by a film guy. He made a movie with my poem A Tale of Fire and Ice. I should get the link to it and put it with my poem sometime. A three and a half minute production with actors! YEP, this one of yours is GREAT

Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty September 7, 2014 at 9:55 AM "Life comes at you through a haze of words distorted and cloaked" or "Its shape becomes solid" memorable lines.. distorted/cloaked/solid/vain/rigid words. They are not competent to convey real truth. Only poems can do that. Well written. Very meaningful. Thank you Scott.
