Poetry



Hi all,

A busy week for us with appointments with the doctor and the dentist. I have experienced difficulties with blood pressure in the past so it was fantastic to hear that my blood pressure was perfect!  

Whitesnake and I don't have a lot planned for the weekend so I'm looking forward to lots of reading and blogging. 

Have a great weekend! 


To be shared with Poetry Pantry and Tuesday Platform.

She builds me up
When I'm feeling low
No need to think
The words will flow

Sometimes I giggle
At the lines we share
Did I write that
Blissfully unaware

When I'm stuck in a rut
She whispers and taunts 
Words don't make sense 
Her rhymes she flaunts

Silently mocking 
When I'm feeling my best
Lurking beneath the surface
With my misery suppressed

She knows I'll be back
We are one and the same
Her words I must write
Or she'll drive me insane

She's gives herself freely
Time and again
I can't thank her enough 
Poetry, my trusted friend

  16. ROFL at Whitesnake's comment! Though I knew it beforehand.

    Poetry is therapy and healing. It proves to be a good friend too at times. Just follow the muse. ❤️

  17. Poetic muses are such a tease, mine will whisper in my ear, I'll turn round and she'll disappear. So I write my words, they don't read bad, she has done this, they are not bad!
