Why do I write poetry?
Words are words.
Poetry is art
Formed with words.
Birds fly.
Birds live and feed and breed,
Then, they die.
Like us, who are in need.
People live and fly in their own way.
Performing meaningful work and deeds.

73rd birthday this month.
Grandpa times two.
Sexy magenta walking cane.
Don't hardly need that.
But commands respect
Maybe some fear.
Could swing it.
Bruise a leg
Or haunch.
Generally I find respect
And doors opened
And generous... – by dougb.72572 | added by dougb.72572

Will I ever be the hero that I was sent to be
I sit on the mountain, looking down, not making a single sound. Strangeness covers me like the clouds cover the sky. I ask myself, who is meant to be saved and why? What do the gods see that I do not

Winter is on my tongue
In the blazing August sun
For when December comes
That's when wild dreams come true
After another year
Of riding this life wheel
Wintertime will come
And our spirits will be high
Our hearts will sing a song
Of what... – by Astrid Astérix | added by Astrid_Astérix

Vicious little creeper
Ever on the move
Somewhat white for
Winter of remote Kamchatka.
Staying clear of
Lynx wolverine eagle
Piercing winds crystalline
Gigantic tigers
Brutal men
Who trade pelts.
Skinny an burrowing.

I missed John McEnroe at Wimbledon.
He spices it up with his temper and first-rate tennis.
He brought back the complete game.
After Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors bored everybody with their baseline shots.
McEnroe can call it like it is and... – by Rick Wojtala | added by anonymous

A man calmly looks through his Livingroom window
Sitting on sofa, legs on table cushion throw.
Curtains wide open, with blinds part open to view
And being night time, he loved these calm times, he knew.
Viewing his vista viewpoint, a violent... – by Deek Robertson | added by fortranfan

What I believe..
Not only is True Love about nor solely based upon that one person who comes long when you least expect it and steals your heart and turns your world upside down but in a good way..
One who then gives theirs in return. And at the... – by Erica Rhian | added by Ercrhian

Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you—
You who are more than... – by Edgar Allen Poe | added by anonymous

My world, where it was once safe, I felt protected and truly cared for, from a love so pure, so real..the kinda love you wait for..
I tried so hard to make it last as I felt it slipping away
I held on so tight, that in that moment I didn’t... – by Erica Rhian | added by Ercrhian

Your eyes are elsewhere.
Sighing.
Watch checking.
And I have not seen
You for months, dear Friend.
Wish it to end?
Your list to-do
Shows out of your purse.
Your rudeness is worse.
EXCUSE ME FOR LIVING
IN YOUR FACE!

They took all savings
Mother came out of hiding
Daughter left seamstress grind
Had a charming candy shop in mind.
En passing I twigged
To a new sign
Decorated window
Glimpses of savoureuses
Mouth watering.
Over the weeks I

True love is extremely rare. Very few people know what this means. Many have felt that in love. Feeling that turns your valley to butterflies. Many have given and received love and some even know the depths of which one's willing to go in the name... – by Matthew Davis | added by Davismatt926
