Writing feelings from the
depth of heart
she tries to describe
her thoughts

Sometimes writing of pain
embedded deep within
Writing so that maybe some healing
will come for the scars
of heart aches

Most times she writes of
the happiness she
feels with the love of her life
of the stars and moon
the velvet skies
moonlit nights
whispers of love from
the breeze

She tells of the true love
they have found
wanting others to share
in the feelings
of her joy

One day she happened
upon a place
where she could share her thoughts
feelings of her heart
She knew when she first came
even before joining this group of writers
that her writing was so little compared
to the talents she found on
these pages
so little, except that it did come
from her heart

She then decided to write her heart
on these pages
and to her amazement
these talents
these giants among writers
accepted her and called these
writes from her heart
poetry

These caring people have
supported her
encouraged her
have given to her their love
and friendship
from their
hearts

Still
some days she wonders
if these writings from her heart
really do belong here
amongst all these
giants
all these real writers
of real
poetry

revisited for all who think their
writing isn't as good as others

Nicely said Ethel and may I just say that I feel everyone that has the courage to post their hearts on these pages of blue is a poet of their own kind...and all are welcomed here and appreciated for their unique talents.

I remember when you first came here too,
And I am sooo glad that you are still here..

Your poetry is love and lovely!

Ethel...You've done good real good. hell GREAT is a better word to describe how far you've come. Give yourself a big pat on the back...

I on the other hand am still learning how to walk without falling flat on my face.
Maybe one day I will be able too run like so many great poets here.

Thank you dear Ethel for this piece born in your beautiful heart. In sharing there is joy.

I think the poets who post here have all their unique voice and as such they have each their place. Of course it happens to feel inadequate, but then we should not waste time in comparing ourselves to the giants, it's enough if we are true to ourselves. It's our unique style we offer and this is always a gift that brings reciprocal inspiration.

You always touch the heartstrings with your beautiful words, dear Ethel.

Love and hugs.
