When emotions run wild
And stress overloads
It’s time to back off
Switch to defusing mode
When your whole world
Seems like it’s falling down
And you tremble
Too afraid to make a sound
Release the pain
To the page let it go
Write it all down
Like a river, let it flow
Let the tears you cry
Land on the page as words
Let it lift your heart
Like a flock of loving birds
As the pain exits
Replaced by calmness in your soul
See the power in your words
Make them a healing goal
As soothing to the beast
Is the melody in music
And comforting to the soul
Writing is therapeutic

A fine write AP. Erm, I can't really be copyright with my hymn-poems. Yet all poems on here are copyright, we know. Or else people may nick our poems and ideas and pass them off as their own. There's nothing like plagiarism for incurring poets wrath! One got drummed off a previous site, with words like 'you cad and bounder' (to put it very mildly, and being very 'English. UK I mean'!) lol.
Oohh, I dunno Outback, whether to think, or not think. Is there a state of non-thinking?! And what am I talking about - I dunno! heehee.
Erm, I am not computing this - not unravelling it very well. Ping! just blown a fuse in me brain-box. See the puff of smoke coming out me ears?!
Ohhh some time to unravel
Will I need to time travel?
To spend centuries trying to you follow?
Ya see, me brain-box is a bit hollow!
(No change there then?!)
And furthermore - why am I using someone else's poem again to maintain these comments?!
Thank you orchidee. Yes, plagiarism is sort of a sin in the writing community. And as you mentioned, everything we write on here is copyrighted to each of us. I try to watch this issue carefully as to what qualifies as plagiarism or not. I, as I'm sure most everyone else feels the same, don't take to kindly to someone purposely copying something I wrote and using it as their own. No, it's not like stealing something in a store or a material thing from another person, but it's still stealing. My philosophy on stealing is if it doesn't belong to me, then it's not mine to take. I'll buy it myself or in the case of writing here, I'll write it myself - in my own words. But thanks again orchidee for your compliment and comment.
orchidee, If someone\'s going to steal written words from another writer on this site, they\'d better re-think the consequences. I guess we\'ll all have to look out for each other and report it if we come across it. Thanks for your compliments my friend.
True and wholly agreed A.P. - your rhyme captures so well the release through writing.
Thanks Fay, I appreciate your thoughts on my writing.
So very true, all our emotions fly w onto the page as we write.
Yes, and have you noticed that the poem comes out just a little better if the subject is very personal and passionate to you? I seem to notice that the more personal it is to me, it comes out on another level of satisfaction for me. Anyway, thanks for your comment.
Hi AP. I just notice the 'copyright' note sometimes at the end of some people's poems. I think we have to type it in ourselves, if we want it included with our poems. A fine poem there from you.
Yes I always write in Microsoft Word, save it with the copyright (C) then paste it in here. Thanks for the compliment orchidee.
Stanza 4 rises and envelopes my awareness!
Again, you're digging deep. Dig all you like my friend. I'm happy to see some new interest in my older works. Thanks so much.
Same goes AP, thanks.
If all we have is words, share for all to read. 😊👍
