Teeming Emotions

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 2 Comments

Confab With Me

Her emotions,
causing a turmoil on her mind
and she fought hard

on her visage
and moved swiftly
to hide behind the crowd
but the emotions were too overwhelming
as the brine teemed in her heart,
and lumped in her throat
before finding its way
through her innocuous eyes

The Power In My Pen ~ A Poem by Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

~ thereluctantpoet

Walt's Writings

There is power in my pen
In the words I create
Words that can inspire,motivate, soothe,
Create memories, set a romantic mood,
Hurt someone, educate, bring tears,
Create fear, happiness, gratitude
and make you laugh or cry
All of these words or feelings
Are created in my mind
And written with my pen
As Poets and Writers
We control the power
That comes out of our pens
