Poem Shore’s Purpose

The Heart of a Poem

To enlighten, to share, to explain, or explore

A poem’s purpose is plain, but extravagant and more

A poem puts in words what you heart’s always felt

A poem vents frustration with the cards you’ve been dealt

A poem can inspire to laugh or to cry

A poem can give answers when the question is “Why?”

To discover, to wonder, to marvel, and learn

A poem is what makes the spark of hope burn

Transaction (A Haiku)

We all have feelings

Not everyone can write them

I help for a fee

Choose Your Style

Poems can rhyme, and like wine, can get better with time

Poems can exist just be contrarian

Poems can be scribbled with exuberant prose and frolic in the fields of wordlplay

Any genre, any style, Poem Shore’s worth your while

The worth of a word

A smile.

A dissected sun reveals the source of it’s shine, it’s warmth, it’s life giving rays. A smile.

A teardrop.

Oceans recede as teardrops are dried exposing long forgotten memories nestled in their beds on the floor. A teardrop.

A flutter.

Leaves dance in the air in a ballet of gusts and romance. The same way a heart does. A flutter.

Worth.

Small, inconsequential. Big, commodious. Rain, torrential. Dry, anhydrous. Short or long, words have worth.

Endless Possibilities

A gift for a lover that makes your heart glow

A letter of resignation to soften the blow

A laugh to lift spirits when the spirits are down

A line on a t-shirt to wear about town

Thank You

I’ve had this idea whispering hope for a spell

Now the whisper has grown to a thunderous yell

These booming thoughts echo and strain to be heard

So no matter how strange, or how weird or absurd 

The idea must transform to a corporeal state

It must manifest before it’s too late 

So join me in hand, for adventure’s in store

I thank you, I love you, for supporting Poem Shore
