Heart Song ~ FormForAll @dVersePoets
Heart ~ Song
To trade a poem for a song
will carry you when nights are long
will comfort you through lonely dreams
remind you of the days now gone
To trade a song for words of hate
will lead you towards a darker fate
for karma swings both forth and back
will scales of justice bear the weight?
To trade a sword for simple pen
will show how simple words can win
no blood spilled, no souls are lost
when ink runs low just fill again
To pen the poem that rights the wrong
to find the courage when night grows long
to know that this is where you belong
armed with pen, your heart's true song.
Though time still remains frightfully short for me, there was no way I was going to miss two FormForAll's in a row. This week sees Samuel Peralta tending bar at dVersePoets with an amazing article on the form known is Rubaiyat Quatrain. I'd tell you more...but then you wouldn't have to visit! Swing on by the pub and get your poetry fix...trust me...you'll be glad you did!

i like the end because it reminds me of the story Yemeni poet gets tongue cut for telling the truth.
i also like S2 which says "what goes around comes around"
care for those age’d until the end

This is for all the poets of the world- love this Tash - especially this last stanza- 'to find the courage when nights grow long' - I really need to remember this...
