Throwback Poem-Off: Sing On [original poem]

in poetry •  7 years ago 

The complexities of life and love distilled into poetic discourse - such is the Poem-Off!

@mitchelljaworski's last entry called to mind a noble pursuit in a relationship, despite an uncertain future. Read it here: A Woman's Worth

And my response below...

Sing On

The singing won't stop
Not that I want it to,
Really.
But I find it funny
That it just won't stop.

I ask myself, "Why?"
And without realizing,
Reply -
"Because I love him."
(That always makes me laugh.)

It's very different now
Than the way it was or not
Before
And it is so refreshing
That I don't want it to end.

It tickles at my soul,
Brightens my eyes
And such,
So I have this giddy feeling
Abounding in my life.

"Sing on!" I tell myself -
One part to another -
"Sing on!"
Enjoy these fantastic moments
Who knows how long they'll last.

What's a poem-off, you ask? Just a little thang that started a little bit ago. I read a poem that @mitchelljaworski posted, from his old-school writing days. It reminded me of all of my old-school poems, so I challenged him to see if we could go turn-for-turn and repost long lost words from the vaults of time. No rules apply, and new stuff might just make the mix. Check it out, y'all. Follow the links down the rabbit hole...

Thanks for visiting

Oh what will she say next?! I don’t know, but I feel more emotion filled scheme are in the works!

Haha, I'm glad you're enjoying these, Kubby! :D

ooooow, I think I have one for this but it may play the opposite side of the emotion. To go dark again, hmmmm? Let we see what else I have first ;-)

It's good to have choices. :) I await your choice with bated breath... :p

Hooray, I was able to stay with this emotional state in a happy tone still. Posted! :-)

Haha, I just got home a bit ago and checked your blog to see if you had one yet, and right as I was about to move on, it appeared. :D Well done! I should be able to get an answer quickly, as I think one of the others I was considering for last round will work here. Woot! Keeping it going...
