Writing Poetry - Poems about Writing Poetry

Writing Poetry

Poems may be simple, try writing a rhyme,
add some images to make it sublime.
Simple words may make meaningful phrases,
difficult words can turn into mazes.

You could write a Limerick, just for fun, 
don’t forget a surprise before you’re done.
Write a nice Haiku, a scene of nature,
like flowing mountain streams with water pure.

A Sonnet would be nice

Writing Poetry

Grief has made my world darker for a time
I have lost a huge part of my family,
someone who left this world way too early
I have felt some guilt about not being about
not being able to stop it
I have felt overwhelmed by the strong emotions
that such a loss entails
and the world has felt so much less

Gathering of Poets

The first Wednesday of the month
we sit around the table and share
poems written with care and revised.
We take in their shapes and forms
and read between the lines.
We gasp with wonder about creations
and search for other words
to make each verse stronger.
Each of us has written volumes by now
the lives we shared month-by-month.
A retired lawyer has returned
from

AN ODE TO THE ART OF WRITING POETRY

You got me to a bower of mulberry blue,
And made me stick to it like with a glue,
You gave me the joy of expressing the self,
And filled with the books of joy - My shelf.

When I write you I feel I am in heaven,
And I won't be harmed even by the black raven,
You gave me

Eight 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

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

Our muse bemused

Word craft from our muse,
Creating does us bemuse,
Fans can join our guild,
As images writers build!

A Short Missive To You And To You

As the final pages of my life turn, I write to you not in sorrow but in the quiet grace of acceptance.

We are all travelers through this fleeting world, each of us given only so much light before our dusk arrives.

With my own twilight arriving, I hope you will remember not the shadow of my

Better Get Going

Better Get Going

I better get started
Time is running out
The sooner I get started
The better the poem should be
I’d have been better off starting earlier
But I am a procrastinator so I am never better at poetry
Maybe today I will be better off writing later
But then again, I probably won’t be better
I better hurry, my time is

I don't believe what just occurred!

I don't believe what just occurred!
The word I needed was gobbled up by that bird.
Oh, how could things have gone from bad to worse!
I now have this gaping hole in the middle of my verse.
And what I meant to say will be forever blurred.

Dancing in Boulogne-Sur-Mer

Dancing in Boulogne-Sur-Mer


I was dancing in Boulogne-Sur-Mer 
when a young woman stopped me, 
and said, “Madame, you are superbe.”
She told me twice, Madame you are superbe


But I didn’t feel superb.
Hadn’t for a long time, if ever at all. 
How is superb supposed to feel
when you're dancing in Boulogne-Sur-Mer?


Later I visited my doctor to 
ask if

IN THE WRITING

It’s easy when I write my poems to see which way my heart is leaning.
I tend to write about what gives my life its purpose and its meaning

Looking back over years of writing there is this tendency in me
to write about love, compassion, kindness, acceptance, my students,
my friends and my family.

To write about the beauty

Writing Poetry,

Writing Poetry,
(Was God’s Calling)
Miracle Man
8/ 1968-11/11/2024

God heard my prayer
as tears began to flow.
Twas more than whispered words
I was saying that day.
From those simple words
God set my heart aglow.
Giving me a new heart
no longer that of clay.

His pardon, the why, or how,
I didn’t understand.
But immediately I knew
He had work for me to do.
Writing poetry wasn’t found

Hold My Hand To Teach Me How To Write

Hold my hand to teach me how to write
Take me to the library. I need to shed light
On a few words that I have never seen before
Teach me how to spell, that can open a new door
For my future. I want to learn. I'm eager to learn
Feed my starving brain and help the minorities too
Let's

Wasting Time Writing Poetry

We write poems, not poetry
And we don’t waste our time
We denounce the scandalous slime
As we expose all unspeakable crimes
We throw lemons, limes and rhymes
At them to chase away what’s so ugly
In them. We definitely want a better
World of compassion, love and peace
We cannot sleep at night, since there’s a list
Of good deeds and things that
