A MEETING WITH MY HEART

© By Andree Malenoir The poet's poem was chosen among eight poems out of 24 entries in ILA Magazine's 'Heart Challenge' offered last week: "Your heart has just scheduled a meeting with you. What's on your heart's agenda that needs to be discussed." Poets were required to write a poem as if in deep conversation with their heart, and also required to apply at least one of the vocabulary words (from a previous post), inserted into their poem.


 

So...here we are...together You've summoned me today A tintinnabulation I heard...so I obey! I'd rather not be present I've better things to do But I cannot refuse you So, here I am...on cue! So what's on the agenda? Have I done something wrong? Do you need to reprove me Am I not where I belong? So now I am awaiting To hear what you must say Please deal with me directly Then I'll be on my way Your words are harsh, but truthful I'm not where I should be I gave you to another And I'm no longer free I should have chosen better I know how much you ache Please loosen this attachment And save 'us' from heartbreak! Image of Andree's poem is included the slideshow. To view the full image, just a click on it, will do.
