Writing Poetry

I am not much of a poet.  Correction.  I am not a poet.  At all.  At school I hated having to write poetry, or short stories.  Give me an essay any day!

But, I just found an enabling link to write my own poem.  It is a lot of fun and takes just a few moments of your time.  Do try it. Via Bentlily.

Here is mine:

I used to worry I was introspective
I used to believe life was demanding
I used to wish I was confident
upbeat
patient.

Then one day
I looked out my window
and saw a cloud
a grey
fast-moving
perfect cloud.

I nearly choked
on the epiphany
we arrive inside
an envelope
of bones
there is nothing to be done
about this
so fill it with calmness
let it brim
with faith.

  6. That's lovely & perfectly poetical. I'd rather poetry to essays, i never liked writing long pages & found poetry more floaty & fun. That said, English was my worst subject & find it fascinating when my children do poetry at school - they all say the same thing - "Mum, it doesn't have to rhyme", love Posie
