The Joy Of Poetry




Midweek Motif - PU

when the storms hit hard
when gloom darkens the horizon
someone will write words

words which make you smile
words which make you laugh
soft words of comfort
which soak up tears

sometimes you are thrown
a  bouquet - a gift of
beautifully arranged syntax
like full blown poppies
magically appearing
when you need them most
the little things of no moment
which remain with us

providing a reason
to keep  on giving
to keep on writing

  12. Those poppies have a resilience to the storms don't they?
    Poetry is always good for the sunny and stormy days. Thanks Rall for the reminder.
