I keep with me a diary It is kept under lock and key For inside lies my innermost thoughts That are so very personal to me The only time I let my guard down Is when I take my pen in hand Then no longer do I have control As my heart seems to beg command As the conductor of my emotions My heart reveals the inner me As I open up my soul To reveal the person I've come to be Many people don't see this side of me Somewhat humble am I to reveal That I've become somewhat of a writer As my words help my heart to heal So often I feel very fragile It doesn't take much for the tears to flow Especially when consumed in my writing And my emotions just seem to overflow So much goodness has come from my writing And so many gifted poets I see Who also reveal their souls Unto the likes of you and me Suetang |

It's true, isn't it, that we DO reveal so much from ourselves. This is so honest and warm to read. Kathleen (Kay) |

It is so very true...even within the fantasies I weave is the heart and soul of me for all to see who have the eyes of a poet. **hugs** This poem is so very very good. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Sue, I wish I could go to Starlite and get one of your first poems and put it right beside this wonderful piece, and show you the growth of your poetry. This was extremely well done, true and many can relate to this. It is OKAY to bare one's soul in their writing, for as I have said so many times - this therapy is absolutely free and so good for you. I really enjoyed your work in this one. Merry Christmas my dear young friend. ~*~ May the spirit of this season live in your heart all year through ~*~ |

Sue, Cool poem. Can't claim to have done much journaling, but I like the sentiments and emotion here. |

Very nicely said. I think poetry is a chance to let it all out, express your mind and heart, just all of your emotions. Poetry is a very magical subject. Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |

I think you wrote a wonderful poem about yourself, life, writing, and others. You covered a lot of ground in a short time. You have an abundance of love and feelings to spread to us Sue. God Bless You, Your friend Rog [This message has been edited by thepoeticplumber (edited 12-17-2001).] |

When the blood from out my heart Makes its way down through my pen And mingles with the ink to form The words I want to send...... Yes, that's what happens. You explain it well, miss |
