Poetry
The written word in song or tale,
is an art in of itself.
The teller tells, the singer sings
and then its put upon a shelf.
The poet though, makes magic of
his use of verbage so
that when its read, you see the word
its feel, its taste, you know.
I can write a tale of woe
and bring a tear or two.
But when I write my poetry
I share much more with you.
I share my passion, flame and more
you feel it deep within
knowing exactly what I mean
you read it once again.
It is a special sort of read
allowing the freedom to
arrange the words so they might read
differently from me to you.
A story is a story told
the words just words, no more
But poetry is emotion and fuel
that rivets to your very core.
I am a piece of each I write
I take a chance you see
that the reader understand my plight
in my flowing delivery.
