Today is World Poetry Day and the title of this poem is the theme of this day…

I sift through my feelings, trying to make sense
Of the cornucopia of emotions intense
That unfortunately threaten
To overwhelm me, quite often
To prevent my emotions from smothering me
I collate them into words, string them desperately
Into a form I can better appreciate
A verse takes shape to describe the state
Of my mind- I find myself getting in the flow
I pour my heart out in a poem, and so
I distill into words and rhyme the essence
Of the sum total of my experience
Thus chaos in life that has been vexing me
Is transformed in to soothing poetry..
I am amazed how you find the words every day. Probably explains why I am definitely not a poet, but surely do appreciate those who are. Happy World Poetry Day to you!

I am so impressed! Every day you have a different topic, and they are all wonderful. Some days I cannot even find a good photo for the word challenge! 😆 Good gosh, I cannot even find a photo…🙄

Thank you so much! I do have some themes I revert to repeatedly but a lot of times, I use whatever I have read/ heard/ discussed during the day as my topic.
