POEMS
WRITING
POEMS IS FUN TO DO.
WHY
DON'T YOU TRY IT SOMETIME, TOO.
ALL
YOU NEED IS A STORY IN YOUR HEAD.
THEN
GET IT ALL WRITTEN DOWN SO IT CAN BE READ.
IT
REALLY IS PRETTY NEAT,
WHEN
YOU'VE FINISHED IT AND IT'S COMPLETE.
ESPECIALLY
WHEN WHAT YOU WRITE TOUCHES SOMEONE ELSE
AND
MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES.
FOR
WHEN YOU CAN WRITE SOMETHING THAT TOUCHES SOMEONE'S HEART,
THEN
YOU'LL FEEL LIKE YOU'VE DONE YOUR PART.
FOR
MAKING SOMEONE THINK IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT,
AND
WHEN YOU DO, YOU'LL FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO SHOUT.
SOMETIMES
THE FEELINGS YOU HAVE INSIDE,
IS
WHAT SOMEONE ELSE IS TRYING TO HIDE.
WHEN
YOU CAN GET SOMEONE TO FINALLY OPEN UP,
THEN
YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT UP.
WRITING
POEMS IS A WAY OF COMMUNICATING,
AND
YOU'LL FEEL GLAD WHEN PEOPLE ARE RELATING
TO
THE THINGS THAT YOU ARE WRITING DOWN.
MAYBE
YOU'LL EVEN CASE A SMILE INSTEAD OF A FROWN.
FOR
IF YOU CAN DO THIS, YOU'LL FEEL GOOD.
YOU'LL
ALSO BE GLAD THAT YOU KNEW YOU COULD,
WRITE
A POEM THAT WOULD TOUCH YOURSELF
BUT
WOULD ALSO TOUCH SOMEONE ELSE.
