Unless of Course

Listen to poem:

the timing's always wrong
so i press the mute button
and keep the silence to myself
believing nobody's interested
convinced nobody cares

what's deep within the well
will stay there for eternity
unless of course... i write my poetry
and cast it to the winds

Sally Eslinger Date: 6/15/2022 5:58:00 AM Very true, Line. Very deep is that well & deeper still the underneath spring that feeds it…and so often painfully a poem cries to rise on up to share its voice to more than the sky — to us Thank you for this poen about the poet’s longing to share. A courageous, confessional pen speaking for us all. Hugs Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 6/15/2022 6:34:00 AM Thank you for your lovely comment, Sally ~
