Question: Does poetry help you to look forward to Another Day!?
Another Day
by Elaine Polin

Tomorrow will be a day of trust
a return to the quid pro quo
every poem gently falling manna
around the poets’ shattered hearts!.
Songs will resound as they sit
on the floor of their communal dome—
never again will any be deleted!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
A good poem sings a song
a bad one brings reflection
but either are subjective
to the beholder's eye

I enjoy reading poetry, pondering the meaning(s)!. To me the ones I like the most are ones with a simple stories on the topside with mutiple meanings underneath!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

This Poem is on My profile

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black!.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back!.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference!.
-Robert Frost

A totally beautiful poem!. Poetry not only helps me through the day, but without the support of many poets here on Y!A, I might not be here today!. I am about to beat the depression that set in after I was shot and the two boys died!. Thanks you all for the help!. I have been reading your works, although I am sorry to not have commented on many!. Please forgive me, and by all means keep penning poetry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've just been deleted!.!.!.and from now on I WILL remember to tack some stupid question onto the end of each poetry posting!.
(ps - I've been trying to find where the rules of posting are!.!.!.can you help!?!.!.!.is this chatting, for example!?)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, poetry with good motive both to read and write is food for the soul
It clears paths, opens doors, and at times reaffirms opinions and thoughts!. As well relieves stress!. I need a daily reprieve, just as I do prayers, or something is missing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A daily dose of poetry, along with a prescription of Elaine P!. and the rest of the Martian poets not only get me through the day, but through life!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
