The blank page sits before me,
I don’t know what to write.
I want to write poetry,
But don’t know how.
Poetry comes from within,
Just let the thoughts of your mind
Flow with the feelings from your soul.
So many emotions are within you,
So many opportunities are around you,
Each of them needs words,
Words to flow onto the page.
Put your feelings into words,
Put your opportunities onto the page,
And those words from your heart and mind
Will fill the page with poetry.

- Comment from author about the poem: In the Coffee Bar that we frequent there was a new young lady serving us. She had ben told that I try and write poetry and said that she would like to write some but was scared about doing so. We had a chat and she has decided to write some. I wrote this for her and gave it to her, she was delighted and will let me see her first poem when she has completed it.

An exceptional write - free flowing with a simple message elegantly stated.
Thank you Michael, much appreciated.
Yes, a fine write again Gold. I should 'flow' myself. Sometimes I fuss - will others like it? will they understand it? etc.
Of course they will like it.
Well G for someone that doesn't know how you just about nailed it,,, If that is a block day you are a true poet
Great words like reading butter soft and smooth
I deliberately wrote the first verse from her point of view and gave my advice with the other verses.
Thank you foryour kind comment Andrew.
Hello Goldfinch60,
That was lovely. Thank you.
I feel inspired for my next poem I shall write.
I love the picture from High Society and the song from the film too!
Keep writing FineB.
Thank you FineB .
High Siciety is a fine film with some wonderful songs in it.
Andy,
Great idea to give the young lady your poem to encourage her to write some of her own! If she shares one of her poems, perhaps you can post it here...with her permission, of course!
I enjoyed the video!
As Bing Crosby said,
“Positively Therapeutic”!
My love to Joyce and to you!

Very well written. I am sure she appreciated the encouragement you gave her. That poem will most definitely inspire 🙂 x
Thank you Angela, she enjoyed the poem and it has fired her muse to write something.
It's such a wonderful poem! I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the line: "So many opportunities are around you." Yes, that is so true. There are so many of them and they are everywhere. It is up to us to notice them. And yes, we absolutely must put our feelings into words. I believe that this is at least partly the purpose of poetry. Thank you for this poem.
Thank you for your kind words Jo. We as poets see things around us that others ignore, and those things that we see end up as words on the paper.
