A Poet`s Page

by Denise Butler   May 14, 2006


I sit here in my room reading all day
Learning about people and their lives
It is amazing how much the poets share
Yearning and following everyone`s cries
There is so much talent on every page
I cannot seem to leave my chair
Heartache and romance of all ages
Nobody claiming that life is fair
I only hope to see one day
That I could compare to those great
Open myself and let it all out
Fall in love and begin to shout
I have a long way to go
Before I can feel at home
With others help I hope to find
A poet`s voice I can call my own.

    Its interesting how you start out not really rhyming... but you fall into rhymes in the middle... like your developing your own technique... i love it!!! Dont let anyone tell you your poems arent good enough... because i've read many famous/published poems and the 2 you have on here are well beyond some of the ones ive read... i think you could easily get published if you tried hard enough. Keep up the great work... 5/5 -Jen-
    PS. Im adding you to my favorites

    This poem was short but it was actually pretty good. Usually when I tell people that I also say how I rarely do say that about another person's poetry. The lines seemed to flow well and the pieces just seemed to fit. The only part I had trouble with was this one:
    Open myself and let it all out
    Fall in love and begin to shout
    And maybe that was because of the word shout. But other than that great poem. Hoping you'll post more in the future.
