Poetry is my
drug of choice,
calming rain,
rays of sunshine.
an antidote
to suffering,
waltzing words
on lonely nights,
my lost lover
whispering
in my ear,
release,
of fear,
wind beneath
birds in flight,
illuminating
light,
immortality...
addiction fear light love poems poetry poets suffering words
Thank you Dorothy❣️?

Sing Another Song Boys... Leonard Cohen... Songs of Love And Hate. Interested.... Google.
Thank you Jennifer and Martin. I appreciate you reading and leaving feedback. ?
Yes Tom, I agree. I love that song. The video is cool too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AMMb9CiScI
Leonard had a true gift of writing soulful lyrics.
Really liked this - especially wind beneath birds in flight - wish I had been able to write this one.
Jennifer
What a great opening line to a thought provoking poem.
Love it
Wow, that's great news about Leonard. Have you heart 'Happens To The Heart'? I think it's one of the best things he's done recently (dying being one of the worst). ? I'll have to have a think and see if I can compose something on your topic... ?
Thanks Tom! Your comment reminds me that "Thanks for the Dance" by Leonard Cohen will be out soon. His poetry lives on! I think I need to add that immortal aspect in this somewhere..
Oh yes "waltzing words - on lonely nights" it's good to dance. Love this.
Dear Poets,
The ... is a prompt to write what poetry means to you!

I have never found anyone that can sing about the dark side of love as well as the legendary Leonard Cohen. Happy discovery Lynn!
