A Verse For Algie

A challenge has been put to me To create some more poetry I’ll do my best to be creative And not to rhyme while I’m talking to people In real time My favorite type of poem Is one that’s metered and rhymes But I understand that nowadays That really isn’t a factor anymore I think the very best poetry Is the kind that opens doors to imagination That inspires the artist and moves a nation That lifts you up through depression and inflation And leads you to self actualization The kind that paints a picture in your mind And takes you from the daily grind Transporting you to far off lands Where there is no war, there is no despair And the lion lies down with the lamb Peace out!
