What Holds Me

Katie B.

 

Pivotal to my existence

Poetry

 

Holds me to this earth

Awakens the untold

 

Harkens an untamed

Reckless creature

 

Pieces together the broken

Forgotten wounds

 

An intimate encounter

Satiated by the written word

 

What speech omits

Poetry voices

      Katie, this has a quiet emotional clarity running through it. Poetry becomes healing, revelation, intimacy, and survival all at once…especially in those final lines about giving voice to what ordinary speech cannot. Strong write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

      Nicely written, Katie. Your poem suggests that poetry has the power to articulate feelings and experiences that might otherwise remain unspoken or unacknowledged.
