I’ve labored long to paint a picture
upon this page in rhyme
but the picture goes unseen by you
and passes away in time.

My heart and soul I’ve bared to you
but to that you are even blind
each time you fail to see me here
I move farther away in my mind.

My poetry is my heart
And I offer it up to you now
but turning away, you ignore
this poet’s simple vow.

How could we turn away from one who daily offers her heart and soul to us here?

Who with her poetry can make us laugh, or move us to tears?

This we, the readers do say to the poet and her vow,

"Bravo Dear Poet!!  Please take your bow!!

Sharon, this is lovely....I agree with Sven, take your bow!! How could we ever turn away from such beautiful wisdom as your poems express?!

Love and hugs,

Your heart is there in plain view I see it with my eyes, your words reflect the kindness you possess. A picture of beauty drawn from a poets mind, left for the readers imagination.

I like this poem
Suggestion: 2nd verse 2nd line, I was thinking maybe you're instead of "you are"
seems to make it read more smoothly there
What do u think?
Just a suggestion

Hi Sharon,

This is National Poetry month and alas I was only able to get two knew friends to post here, but I think even just one new poet a day will make this world a better place to reside, for the muse covers all of the spectrum of life, thank you for your beautiful poem (im going to copy it and show it to someone special) and also for telling me how to incourage other poetry writers to post here at passions.

PoetdeVine~
I enjoyed this.
As poets we all have the uniquely
different feelings that touch our hearts.
Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful poem. But you don't realize how many you've touched. If only one person sees it, then you've succeeded. There's a saying, "touch one person and that person will change the world."

Great poem. I can relate.
