Lorna

Sometimes I wonder

Does poetry take us on voyages

Where otherwise we might not venture

Do you feel pain when images written in rhyme

Call for crying

Do you surprisedly dance

The Red Shoes of words tugging pulling relentlessly

Over gaiety that poets choose

Leaden despair, heart moving messages

Laments in the air over a love that palls

The wishes of the unloved followed by verbal hugging

Hope for a future

Hope gone for any future at all

Yes I think poetry gives you it all.
Plus, the poet usually tells the truth about how he or she sees things.

Poetry makes it alive
It helps me to get over the pain
It helps me to shine
Words unspoken flow easily herein
Emotions buried inside
Can resurface easily on this side
Well crafted dear poet
It resonates with our mind

Wonderful write Lorna. 😉

Words locked away
Within dungeon walls
Building up strength
Before long, the barrier falls
Words come rushing out
An onslaught of poetry
Setting the heart and soul free

Yes, most definitely yes.
