RANDOM ...TONIGHT!

I felt empty,  so tonight,
I sought solace in this site.

Varied wordings filled the screen
I browsed sonnets, odes and hyms..

Then I wondered; yes, I wondered...
just how many more like me
feel the urge to put to words
what their hearts can't say, yet feel.

I sensed love in simple phrases,
I felt rage in sheer outbursts!
I was shamed by such obscenities.
I got burned by fuming hate.

Now I ask myself in silence,
"to which group should I converse?"
I am sad so should I wander
to those poems that speak of laughter?

If I go to poems of hatred,
would I rise above my plight?
If I stray to lines of wisdom,
would my frown be changed to calm?

So confused and so bewildered,
from one poem I jumped and hopped.
Seeking answers  to my questions,
should I read or should I stop?

Random thoughts raced through my brain cells.
Now I find myself inspired.
Out to tell our friends you've helped me.
Now I'm back in shape all right!!!

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
