Days are spent,
To each, their own,
Fruits of labor,
Productive tones.
Instances arise,
Handle at best.
Dealt in the brain,
Then put to rest.
Sometimes though,
Feelings shredded.
Won’t leave the mind,
Stays imbedded.
Relief is needed,
For anger’s tested.
Keep close, composure,
Hold feelings close vested.
Then grab a pencil,
Or, pen in sight,
Those groups of words,
Set together, fight.
This kind of integrity,
Would do all some good.
Write down first on paper,
Appropriate move.
Phrases hold feelings,
Your heart and mind.
Been a practice for ages,
Of the thoughtful kind.
It’s a kind of freedom,
Not available to all.
Those from same fabric,
Will inside, stand tall.
Writers have power,
Must nurture within.
Their defenses are these,
Paper, pencil and pen.

Great write...nice job
Thanks Jeff, you who are one of those very fortunate people with extraordinary writing skills. I mean that. 🙂
This is my kind of poem, a type of reflection.
So glad you like the poem. I am so happy I love writing. No matter where you are, you always have subject matter. Or, no matter how aggravated you are, you can get it out of your head and down on paper. Thanks so much for your comment!
Love this....I want to protest something through the power of words reading this!
Ha Ha. Thanks!
Another great piece WBL. Have a great weekend.
You Too! And thanks for the comment!
I think how lucky people on this site are to be able to express their feelings as they do. I always enjoy your work. Phil.G
You are so correct about the site! And, I appreciate your comment very much Phil! Thanks 🙂
Agree most wholeheartedly with these expressive lines - - a gifted writer can sink shredded feelings in outward verse and nurture the inside too. Good points raised.
You especially are gifted Fay. Thanks so much for the comment 🙂

Excellent poem WBL! It's a talent not all possess. And you certainly have the poetic ability! It's so nice to get feelings put to paper isn't it? Fabulous job! Christina
Yes it is nice to put it down on paper. Thanks for the very nice comment. 🙂
You are welcome!
My humble opinion is that we write because we must. There is a certain kind of power to the written word, and somehow, those who are gifted at the use of language, can use it to ease the misery within this world, They can spread joy, excitement, sorrow, understanding, and knowledge, etc. Your poem exactly captures the joy of writing and the world of the writer, - Phil A.
Thanks so much for your insight Phil!
