The birth of a poem
it comes from the heart.
you never know what it
is until you start.
You listen to music
you reminess,you write
about things you love
or miss.
When you sit down you really
don`t know,you just start bringing
things up from the soul.
A love gone away,or just on hold
a friend killed over yonder,or just
things your heart will ponder.
Sometimes your soul will take you
places you don`t want to go,but thats
where the best comes from,deep down
in the soul.a place even angels fear
to go.
But when you have given it birth
it`s the greatest feeling here
on earth,but when you go deep
down in the soul you`ll be amazed
at what will grow...
nice poem. Its a marvel how a poem gestates and how we give birth to it.
nice description of poetry writing...check out my Automatic Writing...Pam
I agree all the way on this one
Hits the nail on the head, I really like this one
You captured the birth of poems very well. I can really relate it and see it through your eyes. I've felt this way before and started writing a poem about it, but I never saw it through. I'm glad you were able to and trust me you did it splendidly. Thank you for sharing your insightful poetry.
This is so true. Poetry is taken right from the soul.
