Pen A Poem
by Alvin Benatovich - March 4, 1997
When you write a poem
You fill a need
You scratch an itch
A hunger, to feed
Creating a verse
That ends in rhyme
Keeps the mind active
And connected to time
The subject is chosen
When penning is done
You've vented deep feelings
And healing has begun
Describing emotions
With words that rhyme
Dealing with feelings
For all of time
Like ripples across a pond
Ideas radiating to every space
Spreading understanding
Making our world a better place
