How to Write A Poem
Ponder joys and sorrows
which you find
and let words ramble
in your mind
to describe each pain,
tell of each smile
let language dance in
your brain a while...
until those gears mesh into place
You'll know when you see the face
of your newborn poem, rhymed or no -
It is in your heart which you will show;
the features apparent from the genes:
emotions from your depths were gleaned!
Write those snippets as they come,
gloomy or happy - one by one
the lines will form, and you shall see:
We humans all are poets, waiting to be freed!
