Poetry

I place
my heart
on paper
for all
the world
to see
bleed between
the black
and white
I live
my poetry

Yes, that's poetry!

The age old question; do we write to live or live to write.

Yes.....
life is
poetry
and

if we're
lucky
smart
alert
determined
then sometimes

sometimes
we may catch
a bit of it
make that
snatch
of living
hold still
long enough
to trace
around its
outline

on a sheet
of
paper

A touching write and I saw so much depth to your words when I read it the second time...

Warm hugs,
