Poem: Stories You Like

Bev Sanbrooke is a good, new friend, and is an awesome poet. She is part of Ponder 2024. Here is one poem of hers that caught my eye, and I came up with a short response.

Poem: Tis Arts my friends

Bev writes:

Sometimes I just want to sit and read all the fantastic, different ways of creativity on Linkedin, but life gets in the way🤔😃 so…

Tis the creative Arts my friend
Bringing my daily routine to end,
Struggle put your paper down my friend
To chore away or spend the day
Lost in your art…

You tell of pastimes my friend
Of love, peace and paints,
Capture my heart my friend
Let me bask in your poetic rhythm
Lost my present in your art…🎨📚✍️❤️

So, I will tell you my story, Bev.

Poem: Stories you like

I shall tell you my story
All the deep dark secrets
But I dare not —
For its darkness, I fear
But here we all agree
In the night, light a candle
During the day, let the sun in
Brightness that we all like
That story, I can —
Bev…
