Premium MemberPoetry is my passion

Poetry is my passion,  
Empathy is part of my job; it is a deliberate choice.  
We just must tell the stories of others  
Who can’t defend themselves?
He is an unpopular character, this old man,  
Who sits and draws cartoon characters  
Of all his childhood abusers,  
While blasting their names.

Premium MemberEight Years Writing Poetry is Not Enough

I discovered www.poetrysoup which lists styles of poetry
This site shows you examples of haiku, senryu, alliteration, monorhyme
Diminished hexaverse, acroustic, shape poems, rhyme, and much more
The first day I discovered this site I wrote eight poems; all a different style

By the time I branched out to www.allpoetry, I was a bit more confident
I believe that now

Poetry Is

Poetry
A whisper to a scribble
The pen scratches against the blank page
an odd and rhythmical pattern
Imprinted into one's soul
Leaving an odd sense of peace or turmoil
Lingering with a yearn
A yearn for something unattainable
Something supernatural
Words standing tall
Reaching and stretching- searching
Desperately trying to
Obtain the unobtainable
Failing time and time again
Only leaving an echo of the words spoken
Or the emptiness

Writing Poetry is Lonely

I'm riding the train into town,
Enjoying the suburban scenery.
And here it comes -- a poetry idea!

I know it's an idea
'Cause it rides beside me:
Something about the riders
As they all crowd the train,
Rushing, sitting, reading.

I'd like to share with the man on the next seat.
But no! he doesn't want to hear from me.

I'm walking west on

Poetry is Me

I come with nothing but my name 
No shield of pride, no bold demands 
Just echoes I can’t still.
A thousand thoughts rise up like waves,
But only ink knows how to save
I am the grief that learns to sing,
The silent hope that blooms in spring
And when the final words are free,
The page will hold what eyes

Premium MemberPOETRY IS A RECITED ART

POETRY IS A RECITED ART

as folk talk
&recite
they naturally
 pause
after one breath..
thus gramatical symbols
 are superfluous..

tradition calls
for capitals
at beginning of lines ..
but again spoils
   the flow
as most will
unthinkingly
   hesitate
...thereat

so also ' lines'
as such
 are an irrelevance
in this open
context

.,without these things
 each person
brings a uniqueness
 to the poem..

much as
 we all do
when looking at
 a work art
 or
touching
 a tactile sculpture ..

a poem
 is
or should be
  similar

I write about the day and the night I write about putting 
the world to right 

I write about happy times I write about the sad
I write about the things that really drive me mad

I write about hate I write about love
I write about the devil and about god above.

I write about family I write

Premium MemberA day without poetry is like a sky without stars, an ocean without waves

A day without poetry is like a sky without stars, an ocean without waves,
A symphony without sounds floating in the twilight of silence,
A moment where time stops and shadows dance without rhythm,
You lose the chance to dive into the depths of emotions that flow like rivers,
Where each verse is a thread of light guiding you

Premium MemberPoetry Is In My Blood


Writing poetry is in my blood
It's a fairly recent thing
Only been writing for about ten years
It's sure made my idle heart sing

Before I began I stumbled around
Lost my direction in life
Discovered my poetry wasn't too bad
Tried it out on my wife

She encouraged me to pursue it further
Soon realized it WAS for me
My passion has been

Premium MemberThe Writing Of Poetry Is A Sacred Commitment


The Writing of Poetry
Is A Sacred Commitment - - - - - 
That's how you
have to look at it
if you're a serious Poet

You've got to take
a Vow to Poetry,
as if you're 
married to it.
In a sense you are

But it comes
with it's benefits
and moments of ecstasy,
satisfaction deep down
in your Soul

You would never
have believed that
life can be

Premium Memberpoetry is not a crime

You surely can rhyme
Heard this all the time
Poetry is not a crime
It could be sublime

It makes not a dime
Can be done in quick time
Words that somehow rhyme
Pop out from the grime

Slither through the slime
Some of them sublime
One found in Anaheim
Words that love to rhyme

Lemon cake with lime
Atoms with an enzyme
Want to add to this rhyme
Poetry

Premium MemberPoetry Is

Poetry is always here 
I have no need to show it
It’s in the sultry autumn air 
In the silent place my soul is.

It’s in the dappled sunlight 
Filtered by naked trees
In a sweet crisp apple bite
Firm against my teeth.

Poetry is best kept brief 
Oft’ times best unspoken 
As in a maple’s fading leaf
Lax beauty is

Poetry is a beautiful art

Poetry is a beautiful art

Poetry is a beautiful art,
That paint the soul of the art,
The poets are the painters of words
And painting every part of the world

A woman is a true identity of poetry,
Surrounded with butterflies more than luxury
The painter flutter her with fancy,
A true identity of friend called Nancy

Every moment spent on this art,
