Which Poem To Read

WHICH POEM TO READ?

Adore a poem that fascinates and entices me
Touching each heart string with sadness or glee
Poets that pen imaginatively and bring,
Fantasy to life, love poems now that's my thing,
Then, look for a read with breath taking scenery!

Like it when Poets of themselves describe,
To this kind of poetry I ascribe,
Look for writes, in which I see
The crazy, creative, arty side of me 
Or an unexpected ending,I enjoy and prescribe.

Most of the qualities you have mentioned here to be the attributes of a poem which facinate you, they fascinate me too. In Poert soup there is a plethora of great poems to choose from . My only problem is lack of time. Beautifully written dear Jenny !

I like to read poems that pull me in. Right from the beginning to the end and then I'll read them again. I like poems about poetry. I've been known to go a workshop every now and then too. Nicely done Jen.

Hi Jennifer, I like many forms of poetry( I must admit I had know clue about poetry forms until I joined the soup). But I must say I'm a sucker for love and romance. Basically anything that tugs at the heartstrings. I love humorous poems too. Thanks for this my friend. I enjoyed this poem and your amazing pen. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis

It is so true! I like so many different kinds of poems. At first I was afraid of the dark ones, now I sometimes write one myself. I think we learn and grow from our willingness to see what others are penning. Anyway, it works for me. Great job my friend!

I used to be scared of dark poems also, in case I had dreams of them but now can write deep and dark! Thanks Caren, a wonderful comment. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Your unbridled enthusiasm and pure enjoyment of poetry make this write a delight Jennfer. If I didn't know your name, I'd say that it was 'Alice n Wonderland (without the mean queen!). Cheers and Huzzahs! ~ Gershon

Chris your compliments are much appreciated my friend. Forgive me for the late reply but there are pressures of work this side besides my poetry, fortunately. We have had our business for 30 years and it is only ever as far as we are from our computers. I do so enjoy your talented writes. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
