Understand that lifting the pen
to weave poetry upon the page
is more than writing for writing's sake,
it is releasing the emotions for others to see.
the best part is when your verse
inspires others to lift their pen,
creating poetry unending.

though it is my lifeblood
there is hours when

more than I expected.
the truth in the verse
is a ton weight on
a fraying rope
hanging from my mind
making each word
heavier than before.

Paint the page
pen the words
poetry in heart
put to page.
write what the soul
needs to say
for no other reason
than poetry must be.
did not like the prompt today. it came from my prompt pool.

did not like the prompt today. my kid suggested this one.
As the ink flows

seems to release
emotional turmoil
that prose does not.

lifting for prose
poetry is the release
I so often need.
