Writing - a Blessing

"I have never started a poem whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering." - Robert Frost Poetry is an art That gushes from the heart, When we pen our feelings, It helps in mind's healings; I'm sure you're concordant ~ Extremely important Is poetry in life, It helps overcome strife; Unique men and women, We fight battles with pen, We are God's messengers, Merely His presenters; He gives the words, we write, In this darkness, spread light, It’s God’s gentle caress, Relieves some of our stress; Writing poems, we’re strong, Trying to right some wrong, Poetry makes us, us, Writing is sure a plus. 11.24.2021 For Constance La France's ""W" New Poems" contest

Congratulations on this excellent POTD! Such verses sing of light, truth, hope and faith. That poets are charged with presenting positives and inspiration as part of their journey and adventure in literature is a given, imho. Your fine poem is truly a gem.. A fav.. God bless..

Writing innumerable words in a sentence and bringing rhyme is easy to do, but using just five words in a sentence and rhyming needs great admiration. Here the poet has done perfectly that job with great dexterity. Congratulations!
