Poetry: An Escape

Folder: 
On Poetry

Poetry is

the numbing sensation

where words absorb

the impact of pain.  



Poetry is not

the release of emotion

long since held in

but the cure to feeling.



Words are the captor

when emotions

are on the run,

fleeing from guilt.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion. ~Emily Dickinson
