Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...feeling sorry for myself...Again.


Poem Artwork


Poets
write so that their words are read
and discussed late into the night.

They write
so their words become love letters,
missives from one lover to another.

They write
to bridge the gap between sanity
and madness, defined in their terms.

They write
to explain the laws of the universe
in their universe of time and space.

They write
to bring beauty to their depression,
which harkens back to the Dark Ages.

They write
to discuss things they've seen and heard,
finding stability amid the pain.

As a
Poet in this war of words, I see
I've missed my intended target...

Guess I'm
shooting blanks when it comes
to figuring out poetic strategy.

(c) 2005, Karla Dorman.

I feel as you do here a lot of the time too, Karla. Sometimes I wonder why I have this compulsion to share my "poems." It's something we do I guess. Thank you for sharing your thoughts to which many will relate. Love and peace to you.

(((Karla)))

You have never shot any blanks with your writings, and I happen to love EVERYTHING you have done so far! Don't give up writing, and don't look at how many reviews you get; just be glad you get ANY! I know I am! Powerful emotive write; well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(
