Poem Title:
Poem
A very wise woman once said I must write just for me. Let there be no other reason for e x p r e s s i n g my soul- For I have l o n g e d for this passion to continue for eternity, and at my worst is when my journal seems to be full. LET my pen proclaim my adoration for only my heart- Let my verses s c r e a m my insight for only my eyes to see. If there are souls who would like to t e a r my words apart, then I shall sit back and let it go calm and quietly. No other can determine MY worth as a poetess, I am who I am and happen to appreciate my benediction. Tonight I will s o f t l y lay in bed and sincerely digress on the meaning of what my QUILL bestows without restriction. I may not be famous or hold a popular moment in the light, I may not be the best at every l i t t l e thing that I do- I can sure be stubborn and I’ll admit, not always right, but s e r v i n g my internal purpose I shall ALWAYS continue. My pen loves to rhyme and my parchment loves my pen. I have become a woman with whom has great worth. Then please tell me why I seem to get so upset when I am condemned for what I WRITE when feeling mirth? I am a child of God who pours sunshine upon every word I write, though there may be others who don’t see the value in every word- I will no longer be losing any more p e a c e f u l sleep at night, and I will continue to write just for me, EVEN IF UNHEARD. *Dedicated to a beautiful and wise poetess who taught me to write for myself. Thank you sweet lady...* Original contest: Poem of the Day Date Judged: April 25, 2019 Date written: September 19, 2016 For the contest, Writing Challenge 4, May 2019, No Placement Poetry Contest Sponsor: Dear Heart
