I have read so many heart wrenching blogs and poems here, that I felt compelled to write my own…
"What is it about poetry"
What is it about poetry that draws out pain I all around them?
I woke today.
What is it about poetry that makes us want others to share our woes with others?
The sun was shining, on a new beginning.
What is it about poetry that makes us look into the emptiness around us?
The taste of my first cup of coffee made me smile, as I thought of my father.
What is it about poetry that embraces the dark and shuts out the light?
I showered, dressed, and felt good with myself.
What is it about poetry that parades our weaknesses to all?
I arrived at work, and felt that my peers were happy that I was there.
What is it about poetry that exaggerates the loneliness?
When I got home, my children greeted me with unconditional love.
What is it about poetry that makes it easier express the negative and bury the positive?
