What Writing Poetry Means To Me
Escape from mirrors of reality...
are wondrous trips to lands of poetry,
where inner thoughts and visions come to be
expressed with chosen words of imagery...
reflecting the deep heart and soul of me.
Like brilliant jewels are the words I see,
each one, a shining gem placed artfully
to paint emotions that from me flow free,
reflecting wonders of life's mystery...
of nature, God and our humanity.
To share my thoughts and feelings naturally
through words that paint a soulful scenery,
which readers may relate to, hopefully,
may help to soothe and heal them peacefully
or wake up hidden joys from memory.
Though thoughts, through poetry, spring fluently;
the want to read, enjoy, flows endlessly.
