Good Poets

I’ve lost the thread,
I don’t know why,
however much I sit and try
I still think lots of poetry’s crap,
(it’s not like me to think like that).

I struggle on from verse to verse,
as sometimes every line gets worse,
for long, long hours,
though God knows why,
just reading all that meets my eye.

But hidden deep beneath the grot
sometimes a piece
will hit the spot,
a gem of creativity
absorbing every part of me.

It’s then I know why I still look,
for poetry becomes my hook
and like a fish beneath the sea
hook, line and sinker,
it’s caught me.

I’ll journey on this poet’s rhyme
absorbed by each and every line,
enraptured by the poet’s verse
this is the nature
of my curse

Good Poets of the world unite
and feed my hunger when you write
such words delivered with such might,
it’s worth my dredging through the trite!

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Then you, dear Poet, must be hooked on your own poetry as well! ~ I know that I am!

From one poet fisher to another, I do so know what you mean! ~ and I love the way you proclaimed it!

Thought I might get a slating for this one!

I really am word blind and feel guilty about not understanding the poetic nature of most free writing.

And then, occasionally I will find a piece so good, that I do not even notice it's not in rhyme...

As I search for that perfect rhyme
Perhaps it seems I'm wasting time
But poems are a tailored gift -
What bores one soul might give a lift
To someone else, who in that read
Finds what they want, sees what they need
To ease their path in this old world
A stone to me might be their pearl.
