A Poet's Heart

I was cursed with a poet’s heart,
A blessing in disguise.
I dissect life to its smallest part.
I was cursed with a poet’s heart.
I taste the sweet but crave the tart,
Trading smiles for tears and sighs.
I was cursed with a poet’s heart,
A blessing in disguise.

Cursed...
Love the way you used this notion to create a small, sweet piece.
I could never, however, consider it a curse. I consider it a blessing full and outright, a path to well-being. Do you really feel cursed, or was this a great device?

'I taste the sweet but crave the tart,' definite proof of a poet's heart.

You capture a poet's heart well here, and in great form too.

this is lovely and so true! Melodramatic is always better than "Happily Ever After". :)

Wonderful, perfect little poem, expressing what we all feel and sometimes even know.

This is all blessing - no sign of a curse.
