Through the Pen of a Poet
Words by themselves are simple and plain
But through the pen of a poet, they suddenly change.
Put down on paper, those simple words can convey
A thought… vision, or, desire, while, describing a day.
A well written poem can pull at your heart
It can help a faltering love, get a fresh start!
A poet at his best; can draw tears out of you
He can fill you with joy; or, place sadness there too.
A line can be written; that just says "It snowed"
A poem can express such intensity...
You see it! AND, feel its cold!
You might read that it rained... but, in a good poets verse
You can, both, hear it, and, smell it…
As it, quenches your thirst.
Yes… Words all alone, plain and simple; they may be
But, words written in verse, they're wonderful to see.
Plain simple words aspire, to be, read yet again
When these simple plain words travel…
Through, a poets pen!
