The Power of Poetry

Say fame played no part!
With suffering in the world
broken hearts to mend,
poetry contains spilled ink
to rewrite joy and yes, live.

  3. I have Rajani, a fellow poet, at Thotpurge to thank. She created these wonderful and soul-searching prompts. But I agree, they break through the writer’s block. Thanks my friend and sister queen! 🙂
