February 6, 2014 We Write Poems/ Poems of the Heart

We Write Poems  Prompt:  199 about poems about you

Poems of the Heart
    I like
Poems that open doors
Poems that say things in a
    Different way
Poems that look under rocks
Poems that skip in the sunshine
Poems that are willing to walk in the rain
Poems that take the long view
Poems that look up close
Poems that help me to see in a new way
Poems that help me to see what
    I haven’t seen before
Poems that create
    A new world
    A new perspective
    A personal point of view
        The more personal the poem
        The more Universal
Poems that say the whole world
    Even if corrupt is OK
Poems that speaks to my
    Heart

Yes, this resonated with my heart and the part about looking under a rock...

Inspired and beautiful! :) Thank you.

"The more personal the poem/The more Universal". And that is true...underneath the skin we are all human, after all. Perhaps it is reaching into our own personal hearts and looking at the essence of us and our experiences that we understand the basic humanity of what we are -- love, rejection, pain, anger, fear, the whole spectrum.
