Found a treasure..

A dusty sheet of paper
lies almost forgotten
between empty pages;
it holds my heart within
a few treasured words,
the first I had written
complete with rhyme;
my heart feels light now,
for what has returned
was much sought after.
Now it’ll stay guarded,
like a lone rose petal
hidden in heart’s pages.

November PAD Challenge Day 4. #novpad4

The month of November sees the Poem-a-Day (PAD) challenge, hosted by Robert Lee Brewer at Poetic Asides. Day 4 theme is to write a poem on something I found unexpectedly. Recently, while cleaning the attic of old books, I found the sheet of paper on which I had written my first poem almost fifteen years back. I chose to write on that. Thanks Robert for the inspiration.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.

  13. Do you find that your style has evolved heaps since then? I like to revisit poems I wrote years ago, because they bring back memories, but I don't think I could express how I feel as well as you have Leo… Beautiful words. =)
