Go for it girl...-

*

 

It seems to me and always has,

That speech is less than writing,

Like longhair music or good Jazz,

Just one is more exciting.

 

Clear water is to drink your fill,

Red wine is more for sipping,

With one you drink without a thrill,

The other gets you tipping.

 

In life you listen to all kinds,

Not much for conversations,

Prefer to read the many lines,

Some well thought out creations.

 

Are those that talk and those who write,

A limited few succeed,

You must decide how bright your light,

Stay in focus paying heed.

 

To read and write all forms of verse,

Could seem to be ones passion,

Can come the time it seems a curse,

Your time you might then ration.

 

For if the writer does succeed,

And her mind she does not lose,

A social worker she might need,

Once you read others' reviews.

 

Go for it girl, my friend the Rose,

The Rose of Emerald Isle,

The poetry you will compose,

Will surely bring me a smile.

    This is beautiful, what a dedication. I am not a huge fan of rhyme not being able to write it myself but you do it so well. Best to you

      Thank you

      A near miss but did not matter.
      Not one of my best.

    I like this very much, and the philosophy seems to fit my situation, too, especially since I've not written any poetry in some time. Beautifully done!

    Food for thought.

    This is a nice tribute to your friend, I think we all have those moments when we just need a lift from someone. A nicely worded piece.

      Thanks Judy

      Cynthia is giving up her career as a social worker to write poetry full time. Kind of gutsy.
