Poetry is like fresh water Quenching the thirsty soul Once placid lake, the heart Every word creates a ripple Moving me to the core My feelings and emotions Travel with the soft wavelets Arousing my fascination Sweet as nectar The creativity pond Plunging in poetry everyday To taste the fresh sweetness Of poetic water Being on this island Surrounded by the words Where I can take a swim In any weather An eternal source of joy Where I can drown To rejuvenate myself
