Just Half the Story

A poem is just a bunch of words. A flock is just a bunch of birds And Mensa’s just a bunch of nerds, Yet that’s just half the story. For writing them so they will flow Or watching as they skyward go Or marveling at all they know Is what provides the glory. The rhyme and rhythm worth the read, The soaring high with steady speed, Eureka moments that we need And all is hunky-dory!

Another "eureka moment" for you, Ilene. Your rhyme and rhythm are on a roll with this one. One small note...check Line 2.

Backstories add nice depth sometimes. And, devoid of purpose and meaning, our works are sometimes just chaff for the fire. Enjoyed, Ilene!
