Hello Madness
My dear friend
Welcome to my party
Come right on in!
I see you brought
Some friends with you
Will you introduce me
To your colorful crew?
Ah hello Anger
I’ve heard your name
You’re often compared
To a consuming flame
And here is Outrage!
I know you well
Go find Apathy
And raise some hell!
Come in Hope!
We need you here
To balance the scales
Tipped deep by Fear
Oh, Self Pity!
You’re not invited
Go annoy another about
How you were slighted!
Hello Happiness!
You’re here at last!
Go meet the others
This party’s a blast!
Here is Loneliness!
So glad you came
You’re not as alone
As you proclaim
Ah, it’s Love!
I looked for you
But you came to me
Right on que!
Truth is waiting
To meet you all
Ready to stir up
An emotional brawl!
Impassioned
Marvelous! ;)

Glad you liked it Trena!
Isa Rodriguez
now THATS my type of favorite writing!.. no huge words to sound like you are in a fog…. straight to the point . yet extremely perfectly poetic and charming and fun and intriguing!. beautiful rhythm.. with beautiful analogies. it is brilliant, my friend!!!
H M Bascom replied
I just write from the heart Isa. Why use a 5 syllable word when 1 or 2 will do? I write what I feel, not to impress with my vast vocabulary. Big words, big egos, little minds – tedious at best.
Thanks for reading. My writing means nothing if it is not read. xoxo
Roseann
