Finishing Touch

A poem can be written 

In many different styles

It tells of our heartaches

Our troubles and trials

It tells of our failures

Our many victories

We write of our miracles

Or a fatal disease

We share our compassion

Our sorrows, our smiles

We write of salvation

Or the one who defiles

We tell of our friendships

Or a love long lost

A cold winters night

With autumn's first frost

We write happy endings

Or a sad mystery

We tell of our bondage

And our quest to be free

The poet gets weary

From writing so much

His heart is his signature

His finishing touch

So well said, poet. Like a kid in a sweetshop with a thousand flavours to choose from, we all have our favourites we return to.

I love the poem, particularly the final two lines, but I can't help but question the statement about the poet getting weary from writing - for a piece of writing so focused on inspiration it goes against the grain a little for me.

Still getting a 95 though!

To me poetry is a living thing that breathes within us, for some it is there for others it is not. If you have it inside you, you get this poem I have one that has a similar feel, it is called Poetry.
Poetry
Some rhyming words, with a soul,
Moves us all,
Takes its toil.
A bit of rhythm, with some art.
Loaded with feeling,
Captures the heart.
Tells a tale, of romance,
Perhaps of fate, destiny,
Or of chance.
Moves our heart,
Pulls a tear to our eye,
Feels so good,
Just to cry.
Wipe our face,
Clean it dry, then keep reading,
To find out why?
Broken hearts, broken dreams,
We all have pain,
Or so it seems.
Keeping pace, with each line,
Tell the tale,
The truth we’ll find.
The love of words,
That sing a song.
Makes us happy,
Like we belong.
When it’s done,
We will look back,
To search for answers,
We did lack.

Let me know what you think of mine.
