PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

HAPPY NATIONAL POETRY MONTH...TRY TO WRITE A POEM A DAY BUT DON'T FORCE IT...POEMS DO NOT LIKE TO BE FORCED...MAYBE TRY FOR THIRTY FOR THE MONTH EVEN IF THEY DON'T COME ONE A DAY...I KNOW DAY TWO I GOT TWO POEMS BUT DAY THREE AND FOUR NOTHING CAME TO MIND IN PARTICULAR ALTHO THIS ONE STARTED ON DAY FOUR WITH THE FIRST TWO LINES...

I REMEMBER ONCE WRITING A POEM WITH THE LINE...MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT HAS GONE EXPRESS...I THINK THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED HERE...HA HA

 I OFTEN HEAR ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES SO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BLESSINGS AND TUNE OUT THE STORMS...JUST LET THEM PASS ON BY...

HAPPY DAY TWO OF NATIONAL POETRY MONTH

I FEEL THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO START OUT NATIONAL POETRY MONTH THIS YEAR EXPRESSING GRATITUDE FOR THIS WONDERFUL WEBSITE AND ACKNOWLEDGING JASON MINTON FOR ALL OF HIS HARD WORK AND EVERYTHING HE DOES TO KEEP THIS SITE GOING. WE ALL TAKE FAR TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED. THAT OLD SAYING YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT TIL ITS GONE RANG TRUE RECENTLY WHEN I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING TO THIS SITE. I REALIZED JUST HOW MUCH I TAKE IT FOR GRANTED AND REALLY MISS IT WHEN IT'S GONE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO OPEN OUR EYES AND COUNT OUR BLESSINGS. HAPPY NATIONAL POETRY MONTH TO ALL. TRY TO WRITE A POEM A DAY THIS MONTH AS EVERY YEAR AROUND THIS TIME. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. BE GRATEFUL FOR THIS SITE. THANKS JASON MINTON FOR ALL YOU DO HERE. YOU ARE VERY APPRECIATED AND NOT ACKNOWLEDGED ENOUGH. GOD BLESS YOU.

WHEN I WROTE THE WHISPERING WIND THE OTHER DAY I HAD A THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE IT WASN'T JUST ONE VOICE OF THE WIND BUT  MAYBE IT WAS LIKE WHEN YOU HEAR MANY VOICES IN A CROWD AND CAN'T QUITE MAKE OUT ANYTHING REALLY AND THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE ABOUT THAT SENSATION TODAY...IT FEELS QUITE OVERWHELMING TO ME...NOT A FAN OF THAT SENSATION...

WROTE THIS ONE THE OTHER DAY TOO

WROTE THIS THE OTHER DAY WHEN I HEARD SOMEONE ON A SUMMIT SAY MY GET UP AND GO  GOT UP AND WENT AND I WAS LIKE I SAID THAT IN A POEM A LONG TIME AGO AND STILL FEEL THE SAME WAY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

WROTE THIS THE OTHER DAY WHEN I COULDN'T SEEM TO GET ON THIS SITE...TWO MORE  FROM THEN FOLLOWING THIS

SORTA THINKING OF THEATER CRITICS AND MOVIE CRITICS FOR INSTANCE...WHY DO PEOPLE VALUE THEIR OPINIONS SO MUCH...THEY ARE JUST OPINIONS NOT FACTS YOU KNOW...WHEN I WORKED AT A MOVIE THEATER AGES AGO I SAW PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT CAME OUT. I NOTICED WHEN PEOPLE RAVED ABOUT A MOVIE MY EXPECTATIONS WOULD BE HIGHER AND I MIGHT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THEM AND VICE VERSA IF THE CRITICS PANNED OR PEOPLE DIDN'T SEEM TO LIKE SOMETHING I OFTEN WOULD BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY IT AND ACTUALLY ENJOY IT...SO WHAT YOU HEAR ABOUT STUFF CAN AFFECT YOUR EXPECTATIONS OF IT BUT YOU NEVER KNOW TIL YOU SEE IT YOURSELF...THEN AGAIN I CAN BE A MOODY WATCHER SO LIKE FOR INSTANCE IF I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR A CORNY COMEDY THEN IT WILL DISAPPOINT ME...LIKE I HAVE TO BE IN THE MOOD FOR THE PARTICULAR GENRE SOMETIMES...THOSE WERE KINDA THOUGHTS GOING ON WHEN I WROTE THIS ONE...
