Forget Me Nots

She craves the Likes With those comments so much It’s proof there are some souls She’s been able to touch So she writes in the morning well into the night Trying to find that magic to reveal her inner light Yes poetry is her drug a place that seems so real Her world without borders where she’s able to feel Not restricted by society in this place she’s a Queen A flower of the desert or a hero from a movie scene Sensual and adventurous No limitations for her A temptress extraordinaire able to make strong men purr No impossible mountain all of them she can climb She can even be a villain for a moment in time Every story she shares is a pearl from her mind Do not pass by to quickly there are treasures to find So as you read her words offer her some thoughts For this word worthy habit is a garden, of Forget-Me-Nots

Richard, one of my mother's favorite flowers were Forget -me -Nots. She was a writer too. "Writing was her drug, her world without borders" Sometimes her air. Your 4th stanza reminded me of her. It was one of my favorites. She passed 12 years ago and this stanza of your poem will make me think of her all day. This is a beautiful lovely poem, as was she to me.

That's awesome but is she an imaginary person or have you written this poem to honor one of our fellow poetes

This is true for many poets. Writing is a “word worthy habit”, my “world without borders”. Thank you

She's a mystery, so interesting, so many talents wrapped up into one. What a fun poem to read. I enjoyed it very much. My favorite line is "Every story she shares is a pearl from her mind"
