Vista of Poetry

It’s like an outlet for my emotion Whether good or bad like a magic potion Especially when they are all over the place Like going around in a maze Empty and confused Until I read a poem, I feel infused The visions a joy The laughter all part of the ploy Words take us to foreign places Smear new alliances Friendships and laughter The start of a new chapter Even those filled with sadness Makes me forget about my helplessness 7th place POETRY PANORAMA CONTEST Sponsored by: LINDA-MARIE

This poem is a perfect example of how we connect in poetry and in life. You wrote words that are in my soul and mind. And expressed my feeling as yours and one. I'm in aww. Beautiful work my dear Wilma. With love across the pond Michael

Great write on poetry, I feel the same way. It helps release whats inside.

Yes. Creating the poem is so fulfilling. It's all you've said. Music is the same, and art. There is a strengthening effect. As long as you can enjoy the arts you are not helpless. Love, Dave

Art is our cathartic, and poetry tops list, for none goes inside where things exist like it. This is pure truth about a poem, Wilma, pure truth

Poetry does help us put our feelings out there and in this way we are venting our emotions rather than keeping them inside where they can create that "helpless" feeling, Wilma. Great analogy to poetry being a "magic potion." Love, Carolyn

I loved this poem! It is so true, I believe all great poets write because it is our outlet to our emotions. Every poet to me is great, even if they are not so well written, because it is always an outlet for their emotions! Thanks for sharing!
