PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

People ask me why am I attempting to write a poem a day

Am I getting old and crazy, do I have things I want to say?

In truth a poem is very simple, you think and in no time

You’re putting thoughts  together in words that somehow rhyme.

But a poem is more than rhyming...you must let your thoughts run free.

And suddenly the words you think..turn into poetry.

Anyone can do it...no matter how big or small

For hiding inside our heart and soul...is the poet in us all.

How quickly will your thoughts take hold and often make you sigh

For you could be creating the next great lullaby.

You’ll find your words give meaning to your trouble and your strife

And the poet in you just may make a difference in your life.

So people grab your pencils and some paper off the shelf

As you find the poet within you...you may surprise yourself.

The question shouldn’t be why am I attempting to write a poem or two

When you really stop to think about it...the question’s why aren’t you?
