I sat and wondered where to start

A poem, straight from the heart

Trying to find a word to begin

A few lines to portray the feelings within


Bereft of all inspiration

But soon childlike excitement replaced the frustration

No more wounds from fatal hesitation

And so it began, this little citation


So hey you, yes you reading this

I can't promise a life of bliss

But we'd be the envy of Romeo/Juliet, Carousel and Brigadoon

So what d'ya say

You want to be inspiration for the next great love play?

Beautiful poem

I enjoyed reading your poem, joe

Wow, that is beautiful joe

Wistful sentiment delivered with good rhyme and flow. A pleasure to read, Joe.

Be not bereft. I think you found it.
Something from the void Joe.
That menacing blank page defeated by the idea of itself.
Innovative! Excellent!

like music to the ears

I've just read your poem and it's like you've said out loud what I think , and feel , bang on !
