SHORT POEMS

EMOTIONS IN POETRY
by Felicia Renea

Creative imagination of a poet — *Image by* *CDD20*

Poem 1

How is a poem written? 
How does one start?
How is it a possible craft?
How is it a possible art?
I am not a poet
What is meant when they say
You cannot see it, you cannot show it
I suppose, a poem shows one’s heart
That is why it is beautiful
That is why it is art

Poem 2

Escape into the mind of an artist
Go into the deep depths of their soul
Do not close your eyes
Step inside the interior walls
The mind is wild
Imagination runs wild
Do not scream or beg to leave
You chose to look
Open your pupils wide
Take in every detail
You will fall into the abyss
A black emptiness
Filled with passion and rage
An artist’s heart
Beautifully heartbroken

Poem 3

Loud is the wind when it kisses the breeze
Soft is the fall as leaves detach from a tree
Beautiful as the sun when rising on the horizon
Passionate as the artist revealing the soul
Without it, no one person can ever be fully whole
Can only be seen when shown
As fragile as a new birthday
Something no being can ever truly say
We seek it every moment, never finding the meaning
Over the edge, never going over, always leaning
Hungry for the feeling
Like a pirate’s hunger for gold, the treasure is worth stealing
Like Hera’s golden fruit, we want a taste
As if playing a card game, we hope for the perfect suit
What is the world without it?
Foolish are those who say it is of no importance
Always doubting this
Like a lioness protecting her cub, we fight for it
We fight for love
