A Poem a Day Will Keep the Doctor Away
unexpected and profound
Writing poetry good and bad
helps my head from feeling sad
A haiku here and there
makes me feel that life is fair
Rhyming or not a little ditty
can help me feel no pity
Free verse flows from my fingers
showing me that love lingers
A serious or flighty verse
keeps my fingers from my purse
Making sense or showing little
doesn't matter when in a pickle
Observations of natural beauty
have a way of kicking my patootie
Mental health not withstanding
this poem should now be ending
Just remember what I say here
a poem is way better than a beer
I write this down for all to know
whether sunny or knee deep in snow
Write a poem a day
it keeps the doctor away!

Post a CommentI completely agree!
I have to agree.. I know when I am mad, or upset about smething that I may not want to talk about I will start to write and it always ends up in poem form. I never would dream of publishing any of them on AC though.. they are like secrets. lol!
This piece is so cute and SO TRUE! I find my best poetry when I'm down and out. My happy poetry is a bit boring. But when I write, I feel better too.
hey, this is so true :D
This is how I feel about being creative. I have to either write, take photographs, and/or create something using arts and crafts everyday to feel like myself.
Louisa, you are so right! Poetry has helped me express my feelings when I had no one to talk to about them. When pain and tragedy strikes, we have a God-given gift to purge ourselves of that pain in a constructive way. Keep writing, dear poet.
You are absolutely correct.I feel it,experrience it and enjoy it.Poetry is our breath,our spirit and our soul!
