What Does Poetry Mean To Me

I have loved you for a million verses For you emancipate the breadth of my emotions Each pen stroke etches the thoughts I contemplate causing me to remember so many lives Still I question these words you gift me Have they always been hidden within me Or perhaps I'm blessed to hear angels voices Poetry, I pray that you will never abandon me

Hi Richard, This was one of my favorite entries. It was so well written and so poetic. You did what I asked for in this write. How could "poetry" abandon someone as talented as you? Congratulations on your placement in my contest: -) Alexis
