A Poet Is

A poet is an architect, building structures with every word With visions and stories laid out in a rhyme that can be heard. A poet is a seamstress sometimes sewing a beautiful quilt With little patches of memories, and sometimes a touch of guilt. A poet can teach another to feel the majesty of love With hope and inspiration, finding peace from HIM above. A poet must rise to the call of an urge that can’t be ignored Putting ink upon the paper, finding thoughts that have been stored. So, in the silence of the night or on a bright and sunny day A poet cannot be voiceless, there is so very much to say. Now, close your eyes and listen closely for that little voice within Build your poem, fill it completely, pray the process can begin.
