A Poet's Take

 

 

A Poet’s Take

 

Have you ever wondered why some write poetry?

Here’s a poet’s take, and why she writes you’ll see;

Poetry is more than ending a line in rhyme

And using different verbs and nouns every time,

It’s a way to convey one’s conviction and thought

And to challenge the reader to the same plot.

 

For most writers poetry takes time to ponder,

Some thought you mean to last a little longer,

And poetry calms the mind and focuses it

And draws and bids us to meditate a bit,

It speaks to the heart with its symmetry and flow

It’s a gift from God, this I’m convinced is so.
