The Poetic Curse
I find myself-- landed at this site--
wondering why I have been cursed to write--
not a novel of adventure, thrilling or pure,
nor a screenplay to draw moving pictures' allure,
not even short stories to enchant in repose
one's late night attention to dream within prose--
but words set to rhythms that they hold and command,
enticing my mind and guiding my hand
'til, like fingers of grass through a March meadow's wind,
I grasp my poor fate which I cannot rescind---
to give of the form of words given to me---
thus am I cursed to write poetry.
How can poetry make the world a better place?

Believe me poetry can change the world. How? By sharing it. Expressing and voicing what you want changed can inspire people to take action. Keep it up

Katherine Michaels--I REALLY
Katherine Michaels--I REALLY ENJOYED THIS!!!!--I believe that the GOOD poet must entertain the readers if they want ta be read--I was entertained with the smooth flowing lines and I LOVE THE RHYMES.....very entertaining, indeed--And your subject is ay worthy one, too--I laff about it myself--Mostly all poets die BROKE AND UNKNOWN!!!--That seems very fitting to me--LOL--THEN AFTER I'M DEAD they will discover my poetic genius--I wrote over 2,000 poems--The odds are in my favor that there is at least ONE MASTERPIECE lurking amoung them!!!--LOL--I ENJOYED THIS!!!!!--Cliff
