Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

What I love What I Hate

I must confess my love for poetry 
For in it I find great escape
I can right what is wrong with me
Or at least write it away
I love the journey through the mind
Unique turning into something divine 
Like classical music for the soul
Love to write with pen of gold

I hate censorship of any kind
For even God gives us free choice
Who dare puts limits on our mind
Just to suffocate violet voice 
Once upon a time we had free speech 
Not so true these times full of fallacy

Jeanette Swan October 10, 2025 at 6:56 AM These are so heartfelt. It is interesting you have chosen the two faces of word-use. I agree, it is often the process of writing that is the joy (unlike cooking where the focus is often on the eating). J :) Karen Jones October 10, 2025 at 8:03 AM Thanks for your interest in reading Jeanette!

Christopher Delegans October 9, 2025 at 9:36 PM Well said, Karen. I agree 1000%! Karen Jones October 10, 2025 at 12:02 AM Thanks for your support Christopher!

Gershon Wolf October 8, 2025 at 8:41 PM Poetry Soup, you realize, censors all sorts of stuff -- 'bad words,' porn, what it considers 'hate speech,' etc. Right? Karen Jones October 9, 2025 at 12:01 AM Poetry Soup censored two of my poems. One was potd Purple Cemetery. Karen Jones October 8, 2025 at 11:58 PM And I hate that too!
