Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
Words
Words
A poem is not a poem
without any tears,
we play it for laughter
or highlight our fears.
When we pen a song
we'll ride the white swan,
telling life as it is,
not sweeten the wrong.
The artist, the poet,
songwriters too,
listen that message,
we are talking to you.
Without that emotion,
the humour, the rage,
there is no connection,
it's words on a page.
Hobbo's Poems 
this is so true, Hobbo, and so well put: like the Bee Gees said: ‘it’s only words but words are all I have to take your heart away’ …

Thanks John, and some of the Bee Gees writing was par excellence. 🙂

I think it’s so true. Most art needs emotion. Else it’s bland or technical or well informed… but none of those are great adjectives for art (i don’t think).

Here, here Hobbo. There’s a shedding of self in all works of art. The heart is definitely the propeller. Wonderful advice to steer writers back in course.
