The agony and ecstasy <br />of love inspires poetry <br />Which otherwise would not exist. <br />I am quite sure it would be missed. <br /> <br />Though I can only speak for me <br /> I find romantic poetry <br /> can pass the time so pleasantly. <br /> Arousing instant sympathy. <br /> <br />For those who love but love in vain. <br />Who choose to share with me their pain <br />and those who win their hearts desire. <br />Set forth their joy in words of fire. <br /> <br />I read as if I’m in a trance. <br /> Vicariously enjoy romance. <br />experience at second hand. <br /> Love stories I can understand. <br /> <br />Although they don’t apply to me <br /> I read them sympathetically. <br />In love you either win or lose. <br />It seems to me you cannot choose. <br /> <br />The agony and ecstasy <br /> of love inspires poetry. <br />It has been so through history <br />Will always be so probably. <br /> <br />2-Jan-09 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inspiration-for-grand-daughter-chitra/
