' BEAUTIFUL '

Featured Poem the Week of November 02, 2025 

The Ivory Tower Within

Each poet dreams of a secret retreat,
an ivory tower in which to go.
Refuge from the turmoil of life,
isolated from the crazy world below.

A solitary place in which to write,
to enclose oneself in bliss and peace.
Perhaps a castle beside the sea,
where waves crash on rocks soothingly.

But this tower already exist within,
each time a poet takes up paper and pen.
