Today Poem by JR Cuyam
Today
Today is the day for another elegy
But today is also the day I'll celebrate
I will write of my sorrow and scream silently
And also, felicity, i'll encapsulate
This paper, I will fill with anguish
But my heart, I will tell to exult
Through this pen I will shed tears, bleed, and relinquish
But my lips will praise the Lord though it's difficult
I smell victory and it's mine for the taking
So, my pride I'll rip off even though i'm breaking
Today I'll forgive, love, and display kindness
Inking out my pain but I got warm fuzzies
Very wonderful... This paper, I will fill with anguish But my heart, I will tell to exult
I feel you are trying to put so many feelings into this poem, but that is difficult to do. If you use your feelings to describe a situation and give readers a ringside view, maybe they can share the feelings of anguish and joy. I like the poems of Mary Oliver, because they tell by showing.
In the face of all difficulty it is important to do what you have expressed in the last line of the second stanza, But my lips may praise the Lord though it is difficult. As long as we do this we will succeed by His grace.
