My apologies for the title....this one was from the same rainy friday as a lot of the others...

....................................................

I see why you write poetry...
Why its second nature now...
It makes your life a grade A steak...
Instead of ground up cow.


It makes your mind a shining sword...
To stab away the pain...
A three ply shelter for your heart...
To hide from tears of acid rain.

It nails the wrongs of yesterday...
And leaves them hanging there...
It adds a lightness to your steps...
When you're bent by loads of care.

It makes your life a grade A steak...
Instead of ground up cow...
So help me, Angel, teach me, please...
I need to write some now.

Well ... I'd agree,
the title didn't add much ...
and almost kept me from opening it ...
but this line was worth the read -

'It nails the wrongs of yesterday...
And leaves them hanging there...'


You nailed it !

*ponders*  When were you asking for help?  And which Angel you calling out to, hon?  You know I'm always around for you ... just call.     Or look in your heart.  I'll be there. Take care love.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

* just smiles * which angel?? Hm...not sure...hard to say hon....I think I was just writing...tell the truth about 8 or 9 poems came out in an hour one friday afternoon...but seeing how the poem is about poetry...and the other " angels " i know are not so gifted....methinks at this point it would have to be you...I like including the people and places I know and love in my stuff weather it be stories , pictures, or songs...most everything in here has ties to someone I give a hoot for...and since I have read more than a few of your poems...seems like someone givin a hoot would be a good thing for a change * hugs * and thanks to everybody in this place..for all the great stuff..
