Upon earths' fertile shores
quills speak their golden whispers.
Between swollen crests of seas
silver tongues lay tribute to tomorrow.
Poets compose on scrolls
of saturated parchment where
ink can ne're dry and tomes
e'er be archived in testament.
Bards of old bowed before royalty
putting them on pedestals,
using their profiles on stamps and coins
for philatelist and numismatist to immortalize.
Times have changed with exposure.
The media scoffs and rebukes them.
Lyricists write and sing tribute
to their children, after death.
Styles may be different today
but composition remains the same.
Do writers seek emotional release through poetry ?
I believe so. Somethings never change.
You are amazing.

It's the perfect way to cope with feelings and emotions. And even better if someone reads what came out of our mind.
Good one.
Poetry is emotion splattered out as words for all to read and hopefully... feel.
Isn't it great that there are still souls in this crazy world who enjoy and appreciate poetry?I would die without it,perhaps not the outside of me but surely,certainly,absolutely and totally on the inside,I'd die.
I love it love it love it and I love that you do too as indeed this excellent poem of yours reveals.Shine on poet!
how much things stay the same, yet everything is
always changing!;-)Is that a Yogi Beraism;-)...
