The knowingness of being a poet liberates
Freedom from what binds
Grasping for the impeccable
Words that come in flashes and floods
Churning and burning
Nights of literary bliss
Confidence in the poet's pen
The more I write, the more I write
Poetry the kick stand
That holds my bike upright
I dream in prose
I sing in verse
I write in a time set apart
Words revealed, ecstasy
Words flow, exhilaration
In the written word I am alive
Like the creatures of the forest
Moving my life around for poetry
Not an inconvenience
Because poetry is a passion, a priority
Poetry, always the main dish
At my literary meal

A declaration of poetry's value in a life. The incorporation of words and verse in the shaping of a day. Language the greatest invention that sets us apart and unites us refined in poetry as an expression of the soul. it directs and gives purpose as well as defines us. A most lovely write
Thank you for the acknowledgement of poetry's value and significance in our lives as well as the lovely comments.
You are most welcome Katie
Well put, the distraction when all around you are in turmoil, you're in writing.
Every situation has a start, a middle and an end, and a picture forms from this.
Also, very cathartic when the words appear.
Katie, this shines with a grounded joy…the “more I write, the more I write” line caught me, and I know that feeling of shaping life around the work. Passion, not inconvenience. You said it beautifully, my friend! Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Bless you for your generous comments!!!
Wonderful words Katie about your absolute love of writing poetry.
Andy
