Dear Poetry,
It’s true
I’m in love with you
Since I learned to read,
Words I loved,
To write and read,
To express and learn
To build a world of mine
With words and only words.
Yet, today, I fail
To express my unwavering love for you
In words rhyming and fancy
Dripping with charm and grace.
Together we may not be the best
Or perfect
You are the companion I seek
When I am lost.
I will be lost forever
Like a floating rock in the space
If not for you
And that’s true
So very true.
With love.
I am participating in the 7-day Festival of Words hosted by Write Tribe. Day 5 prompt is ‘Write a letter’.

As much as I love poetry, I’m not very good at writing it!

Wonderful piece. I too try writing poetry but it doesn’t turn out as great as this. I however, keep trying and don’t give up.

I love poetry, too. Unfortunately, Poetry is not a very faithful lover. Just when I think that Poetry is mine, he abandons me for someone else. Other times, he plays hard to get. The last time, he had a spat with me for four hours. I wept from heartbreak at the fickle lover.

Poetry is actually harder to write than prose and conveys so much in terms of emotion too with such few and precise words.

Written with passion! Poetry evokes such emotions which are difficult to even comprehend at times.

I love poetry. But unfortunately it doesn’t love me back much. I am just not good in that. Loved this poem. 🙂

I’m in love with poetry too, but ours is more of a love-hate relationship. Sometimes we break up too. 😛
