Sometimes Poets Bleed Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken
Sometimes Poets Bleed
Copious amounts of blood flow, nonstop
.....A poet's head is in total disarray- -
Knocked silly against a sharpened "edge"...
...Bringing forth the dawn of day.
Perhaps, it is a spiritual letting
.....Or some divine circumstance employed
That awoke the poet to the "realization"- -
...That sometimes in life there is no joy!
Oft' times it is such a struggle
.....Just to tuck themselves into a safe bed...
And protect their minds and souls for living- -
...While blood continues pouring out of their head's.
It is always well worth considering thought. This holds even more so when blood seems to flow. Searching for how, and trying to put it into words, is both logical and a source of poetic inspiration.
Thank you Kelly...really appreciate your taking the time to read and comment on my words.

An awakening is a delicate time, a struggle between living and protecting the poet inside, wonderful poetry as always my friend, I really enjoyed it!
Thank you, thank you Bill! Surely do miss you and am so sad that you have left this site. Understand your reasoning but i can tell you that this site has always had the problems that you spoke of when you left...nothing has changed since i arrived here in 2005. Wish you would reconsider and come back.Read all of your words and there wasn't one that i did not enjoy a lot. You have the spirit of God in most of your work. Please reconsider!
