How To Write Poetry

If you write to please others Then you write without heart Then your pleasures are for another Sound travels though time Shakespeare did not write For our ears to hear His words traveled through time His poetry came within his heart None can copy or write the same Poetry lays within you It’s the Spirit that guides you Some you read with pleasure While another will bring a sour note Each uniquely created by one A Rhyme may jingle in your ear While it may sound like a drum to another. Place not the heart for others to hear But place it within your Soul
