Poetry is a part of my heart
I dare say a part of my being
Without the release of emotion
there's nothing else so freeing
It's not just words arranged on paper
No, it's more than that, I say
It's emotion and experiences together
in a mesmerizing mental display
I've always written so personally
about my life and details, that's true
but I think that for me, poetry is
a culmination of feelings I can't undo
Words are born on a blank page
and my pen dances to the song of my soul
Unleashed and exposed, each word
forming stanzas until I feel whole

"My pen dances to the song of my soul" ... What a fabulous line, Christina! Spot on with this write!
Thanks so much Louis! Much appreciated! I thank you for starting this poem subject.
Wonderful write Christine as poetry is.
I guess you hadn’t noticed the Fusioned poem I had started...Poetry Is (II). The simple reason I started one was because I was too late to join in on Louis’s. Beautiful write in its entirety! I especially liked the line “in a mesmerizing mental display”. I can envision that pen dancing! Brava!
I know, but your Poetry is (II) is also closed. I was just too late. Thanks for your reply and compliments!
Ok...I understand. It happened to me too.
You’re welcome! I like your poetry...you write from the heart! Beautiful!
Nice poem Christina - Syd
Thanks so much syd, for the kind reply and the favorite save. I appreciate it very much!
You're welcome Christina. Take care - Syd
This poem really speaks to me Christina, it is so beautiful! 🙂
Hi Skye! Thanks so much for reading and leaving such a wonderful message! I do appreciate it!
Big welcome on board the Love Is platform and a great work to get on board with - never too late Christina.
Thank you! At the time, my mind just couldn't come up with anything, and last night, my mind wouldn't shut up! LOL Thanks for the review, Michael!
WOW CHRIS ~ NINE comments and all of them positive ~ are you taking "muse boosting" tablets. This is your best poem for a month in structure ~ balanced quatrains and a consistent rhyme pattern (xaxa xbxb etc) ~ You sure kick started your MUSE ! All of our MUSES love the "Poetry is" title because it is POETRY about POETRY ! Your content is revealing ! Poetry is "MORE than just words" it is EMOTIONAL and from the HEART and it is always PERSONAL (part of your being !). Also your last verse hints at it's THERAPEUTIC properties "Until I feel whole" POETRY IS ~ poems are an analysis (a recipe book) of WHAT Poetry is ~ and most of us have penned at least ONE ! The next step is more difficult ~ we have to BAKE a CAKE (pen a poem) according to our guidelines ~ I will do that tomorrow ~ will you ? Thanks for caring & sharing ~ look forward to your ODE for SATURDAY (please check mine) ~ Thanks for your comment on SNOWBALLS ! Abrazos de Natividad BRIAN "Hombre de Nieve"
Thank you for quite the in depth review! I agree that this is one of my better poems I've written in a while and I appreciate all the support and enthusiasm you send my way! I don't usually post on weekend, we shall see. Thanks again for always being there. Abrazos de Natividad--Christina
Christina your poem is not only well written, it is so true. By writing we all reveal something of ourselves, and sometimes it is scary, as you say: 'unleashed and exposed'
Thanks so much Fred! It is certainly true what you say. I've had problems writing poems lately but this one seemed to write itself. I appreciate the compliment also.
This was amazing. I love the
culmination of feelings I can't undo
line. You continue to impress. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks very much SM! I appreciate the compliments very much!
I agree poetry is a way for me to express what I experienced ... I like writing poetry but I can only write with some sort of inspiration either positive or negative poetry comes out from whatever o might be feeling atvyhe time...
Thanks for the read and reply to my poem! I really appreciate it! Thanks again!
