The Poet's Song

A poem is a song that our souls need to sing Written to the music our emotions bring The meloncholy tune that our spirit dreads Cause the words to sing that's inside our heads Through the poet's quill a poem finds its voice His paper made a stage for it doesn't have a choice The poet, just an instrument for the songs to play His muse writes the words, telling the poet what to say The poet finds the rhythm through the beat of his heart While doing his best to perfect his art The letters all audition while the music is made Praying to be the star when the song is played As the meloncholy tune starts to slowly die The poet knows the ending is now drawing nigh He lays down his quill that he's held so long The poet's finally finished with his poet's song

First class write, my friend. Glad to see you posting again. Hope you doing well. Haven't posted much myself lately, my wife's been in hosp for about a week with pneumonia! Thought I lost her, but she's slowly getting better. Still not out of the woods, but things are much better than they were this time last week. Have a great weekend. Best to you and yours. Ralph
