Love, a poet’s words from pen to paper
A poet’s sense of freedom from the world
Words come out like the skies falling vapor
A whole new dimension becomes unfurled
A poet’s imagination, their call
Whether life, death, or something in between
Sometimes to them, nothing matters at all
But what they truly love is the unseen
The darker side of life, what they desire
In their own fantasy land they do hide
You can see it in their eyes, the red fire
Writing how they do feel on the inside
A poet’s words, imagery, metaphor
You shall not quoth the raven, nevermore

funny how people see things differently. Art of any kind has never given me a sense of freedom. Quite the opposite really. It's always made me feel like a prisoner (of something or other?)...nice poem...I really enjoyed reading it...thanks
-
great job very nice poem thanks for entering
-
Congrats! You are a finalist. Great job with this.

It is true, poets like their own fantasy world. You captured the truth here so well . A good poem indeed for a lit class.

I think this piece would benefit from more spacing, other than that Nicely penned

It is soo excellent.
You are truly talented; you took something so simple and turned it into a masterpiece!
-
Wow! This is brilliant, my dear poetess! I am particularly impressed because I absolutely deplore form poetry, and it is such a struggle for me. But you did very well here... I especially loved the ending! Congratulations on your well-deserved gold!
Love and light always

Sierra, I love it hun. You definitely captured the essence of how a poet expresses themselves on how they fight to survive within this fucked up world, as well as their own personal battles against our inner demons. Seeing and hearing them release the pain they feel from within.
