It Beckons Me

Katie B.

Poetry beckons

I answer

A force

Eager to sell

Eager to buy

Why would laundry matter

In the face of beautiful thinking

Extravagant words

That ooze with richness

Words own me

Intoxicate

Poetry is as evocative

As it is passionate

It compels me

Sustains me

My song

My retreat

Poetry beckons

I answer

    A shared passion in this poem Katie. Nicely written with so much ardour and fire. Well done

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    Katie, what struck me most is the contrast between ordinary responsibilities and the irresistible call of creativity. That moment lands so well because most writers know exactly what that tug feels like. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
