February Poetry Spotlight: For the love of Poetry

Written on February 5th, 2010 by Sylvia Hubbard

It can feel as liberating as giving birth

Though i never had a child

So maybe its just writing out my worth

With a pen and pad

Or laptop and keybad

Expressing myself

Whether the subject be good or bad

Writing about the present or the past

Writing about things that make me sad

Or make me laugh

To be able to journal my feelings with

Some kind of flow

To write about a high or a low

In sickness or in health

To be able to put it out there

To put it all out there because i care

When i cant hold it no longer

When my emotions get stronger and stronger

When i feel like throwing a punch

Or when i have a hunch

I may want to do some

Slamming things

Breaking things

Screaming

Crying

Yelling

Hugging

Romancing

Releasing

But back to poetry lovin’

I guess the best way is type hard or write hard that poem

like just the words or just the music to a song

There must be something about creativity

And its flowetry

Because i feel like if all else fails

I still got my poetry
