There’s a man you know as Hugh West
Writing poetry is what he does best
But then I reckon
Poetry is second
To eyeing my voluptuous chest

So I Write

Awakened from a dogmatic slumber
            
                         compelled to write poetry...

                                          I know now, what to do

I Told You So

Here lies Larry Belt, once loved by all
Writing poetry before he could crawl
It happened just like he said
And now he is lying dead
Nagged to death by his mother-in-law

Either Or

Happy…
  writing poetry

Miserable…
  writing prose

Divided
  with each word to gift

Joyful
  —with each thought to know

Where I’ll rock and reminisce,
read leisurely in freedom’s bliss,
take my time writing poetry,
entertain grandkids, one per knee,
call loved ones I miss

WRITING

when other souls
are conceiving
in their dreams 
my breath 
gives birth 
at midnight

my soul
only knows 
to labour
to push 
to birth
alone

~ Eshe Benson

You Are the Only One

You Are the Only One

Writing poetry  has been so much fun,
From very beginning until it was done;
And realize,
You I idolize;
Make you think you are the only one.

writing poetry is fun
one thing that I do best
writing on the run
writing with zest
write a pun
in jest

Upside Down Poet

Writing poetry upside down
Is a dangerous practice most unsound,
When you're a Southern Hemisphere poet
The ink in your pen just won't flow it 
And you have to hang on to the ground.

Premium Member Writing Poetry

What I write is gone the second it hits the page
I write with the frenzy of a wild cat in a rage
It spits and hisses and snarls at me along the way
This is how I write poetry every dashed day.

Premium Member I Prefer Eating Alone

the drone of gossip fills the lunchroom
maniacal laughter bursts occasionally
I eat alone on the other side of the wall
preferring to do anything else
writing poetry, drawing cartoons, loving being me.

POETRY
You ask me why I keep writing poetry
While it's not as good as wishing beauty
I answer you: it's my destiny
I will write forever and to infinity

When writing poetry, humour wins hands down But not at a funeral, causes lotsa nasty frowns So be careful what you choose Like purple ballet shoes And being dressed in a pretty pink gown

Premium Member On Wings

When I'm writing poetry

I feel the joy well up in me.

My spirit soars as if on wings.

My soul takes flight, my heart it sings.

This is the time that I love best,

When pen meets paper on it's quest.

Writing Poetry

You don't write poetry
without challenging
gestures ...
Without taming
dreams,
without building
castles,
without exploding
emotions,
without excising
fears,
without learning
secrets of the passions ...!

Premium Member Cheerful Glitzy Heart Felt Poem

The cheerful, glitzy, heart-felt poem danced and skipped so gay.
With terrific happiness she felt in her soul mind.
Sharing herself joyously in a delightful way.
Sharing her words in swirls and curls, paper unlined.

Imagine

Imagine yourself dancing to a song
                                      that has no words.




                        Now imagine yourself writing poetry,
                                        without any heart.

And This Is Writing Poetry

I am a building cleaner

Long ago
I had a dream

In this world
remove ugly filth
to wash
doing work.

Arduous Task Writing Poetry

Life is arduous, solid, firm...
             light, simple is to break
             rocks ... it is laborious to live ...
             much further intense
             exhausting is writing
             books and  to find poetry...!

Growing Older

For I am growing older you see
It's not easy to be me
Now that I am sixteen
I'm not gonna waste my time
On lost endless rhymes
I'm gonna free myself
And say what I want
For writing poetry is my passion
And what I can't live without
