A Poem

"A Poem"

A true poem does not have to involve a rhyme
Just a little play with words and time
A poem is just a thought placed on display
To mold and shape like a sculptor’s clay

Those who read and understand
Know poems, like life, are never bland
A poem can intrigue or complicate
It can even place a romantic twist on fate

A poem is there for those that are pleasurable and kind
They can even be for the mad like Poe, who lost his mind
A poem is there for the sad and depressed
It also can be relief for those who are stressed

A poem can describe a somber rainy day
Or a glorious sunrise in early may
It can recapture a fading memory
Or a poem can share a dream that will never be

A poem is something that anyone can appreciate
For in the mind it opens a little gate
A passageway to all that can possibly be
All it takes is you and little creativity
