Welcome To Your Poetry Palace

Please come in and make yourself at home.
Our eager staff is waiting to treat you like royalty.
EVENTUALLY, you will find your pen wanting to roam.
Tip-toeing through your ILLUSION filled brain dome.
Remember to visit the Hall Of CREATIVITY.
Your imagination is the guide to your tome.

Perhaps an INFUSION of inspiration, for a start.
Always a pleasure to serve you a feast.
Likely or not, you will over indulge your heart.
Ahhh!  But that is what gets the pen to fight the beast.
Cast off the poetic writers block of art.
Each poem you write is an INEVITABLE release.

By, Paula Swanson

What I wanted to say on your blog is: You can do the center at the beginning and ending of the poem while you're posting it. Always works just fine. Thanks for sharing this. I see a lot of free verse poems that would "look" more attractive if centered. Hope people read this blog. Love, Carolyn
