Choose a Poet

Kora

When choosing love,
Choose a poet. 
You won't have wealth,
But you will have
Your name penned
Into endless pages, 
For the sake of a smile,
Deep conversations
Late into the night,
Stargazing and music,
Colour and magic,
A wildflower,
Tucked into your pocket,
The little joys
That make living
So worthwhile,
You will be loved
With all of them,
So when choosing love, 
Choose a poet, 
You won't have wealth,
But you will be rich
In all the ways
That matter most of all

    a very good write

  • sorenbarrett

    Such a great write that speaks for most all of us that write. Well said

    • Kora

      Thanks Soren ♥️

      • sorenbarrett

        You are most welcome

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Kora, this carries a kind of warmth that feels lived, not imagined…built through those small, shared moments that actually matter. It doesn’t reach for anything flashy, just something real, and that’s why it works. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

        • Kora

          Sometimes the things that seem small were actually the most important things all along.
          Thank you for your kind words Tristan ♥️

          Alright Kora… I choose you! All these bangers you been putting out; you’ve been in a roll! Far from mediocre that’s for sure.

          • Kora

            Aww, thank you ♥️
            I've got a long way to go before I live up to the likes of you and Soren, but I'll keep trying 🥰

          • Doggerel Dave

            Choose carefully. Poets come in all shapes sizes and mindsets Perhaps there are other qualities in a human other than the variable ability to put words together.

            • Kora

              I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to make it seem polarizing at all 🙁
              I don't think my poetry is good enough to be coming across in the more subtle ways I'm intending yet 😔
              When I say poet... I don't just mean someone who writes, I mean someone with what I call 'a poets heart'
              Essentially someone who takes joy in the little wonders the world has to offer, and shares them with those they love.
              I should have made it more clear, I'll remember for next time, and I apologise ♥️

              • Doggerel Dave

                Nothing to be sorry for. There have been so many poems written here about poets and poetry when I assume they can find nothing better in this big bad world to worry about, that it can get a wee bit wearying at times. I'm sure that is not all you write about...

                • Kora

                  I understand, and I hope it isn't, but I'll take this as an opportunity either way to try harder to branch out. Thank you 😊

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Take care of yourself.

                  • Katie B.

                    I love this Kora! My husband listens to all my poetry!

                    • Kora

                      Aw I love that ♥️ Finding someone who appreciates you and takes time to listen to the things you love is so rare and special
