Come to me poetry

Come to me poetry

Come to me poetry
In these strange times
Conjure a laugh
With your casual rhymes
 -
Speak to me poetry
Whisper to my dreams
And make this life
Less hard than it seems
 -
Come to me poetry
And release this frown
Light up my soul
While I’m feeling so down
 -
Speak to me poetry
Be the Angel on my shoulder
Inspire me with wisdom
As I get older
 -
Come to me poetry
And sing to my tears
Let me write of the echoes
Of my childhood years
 -
Speak to me Poetry
Of the family I knew
Now they’ve followed the Angels
Let them listen too

Being Me

This is a lovely poem, John!  I love the sentiment expressed and the flow is just superb. It is like a tribute poem to poetry itself. Wonderful ⚘x

Thank you Tina,  yes to me it's about writers block and trying to remember how to write. A kind of silent prayer to get back into it.
