Some Fall in Love, I Write Poetry.

by Cynthia

Poetry is my romance.

I fall in love with my best works

and find it hard to let go of the awful ones.

We all have baggage.                                                                                                                  

Poetry is my romance.

I argue in the middle of the night with the words on paper.

I study, recite, and write poetry until my knuckles wear thin.

I tell myself that well-written poetry is worth the commitment. 

Poetry is-                                                                                                         

it’s hard to break up with it.                                                                                                        

Poetry is my romance, a written vow, and wedding ring.                               

Till Death Do We Part, I’ll add.

Poetry is-

tough and beautiful.

The poetic truths I discover make me feel wonderful, foolish things.

Some fall in love but, love makes people do crazy, stupid things.

Do you see what love can make you do?

It’s best to play it safe and stick to writing poetry.
