Why Do I write Poetry?

Goldfinch60



Why is it that I can sit and write these words?

They seem to just come into my mind,

And I need to put them on paper.

Some maybe good,

Some are bad ,

But the urge to get them written

Is a force that I cannot fight.

They can be funny.

They can be sad.

They can be angry.

All emotions are shown,

The strongest one is of course love.

The emotive ones are best;

To put emotion onto the page

Comes to me with absolute ease.

Writing poetry is a release

Into a different world,

Where some troubles are forgotten,

And others are written here.

    So true that’s a writer’s blessing or a habit that cannot be done away with…giving words to those coloured emotions
    And I truly resonate with your lines

          Welcome, Gold. Me next poem is 'Why do I sing?' There's no words in it, as I haven't the foggiest idea of what caused me to start singing! lol.

            I think you have an admirable clarity of thought to be able to write each day as you do.
            For me a confusion of thought will often stop me until suchtime as i am nudged into clarity probably by some happenstance.

              Troubles to be forgotten and others to be kept. We write because we have to. This is a powerful read. Thanks for sharing your poetry.
