Group Poem
Poetry…
It’s a way to hear the unheard
to visualize the unseen
to feel the untouched.
Better or worse
happy or cursed.
As thick as molasses.
That feeling you get when nobody is looking.
It’s endless like a resting eight.
Poetry is my savior.
Follow your dreams and stay
mindless as you can be.
Incantation
raising the spirits.
Your own sense of style
special and unique.
Seeing
through borrowed eyes.
Something inside trying to get out.
Passion and possibility
match with persistence.
Imagination
crossing over
existence.
Assemble them
if you will.
Poetry is the
words of my heart.
