A Poem

A Poem

a poem can be quite funny 
a poem can be quite sad
some poems are really sensible
while others are quite mad

some are rather silly
designed to fashion laughs
with talk of roosters ducks and geese
or large long necked giraffes

but poems can tell a story
not just be rhyming word
a poem can make your heart take flight
on strong emotions stirred

a poem can give you pleasure
wondrous and sublime
of which there is no measure
take you to another time

and poems belong to everyone
just follow where they lead
turn the page and there they are
in thought word and deed

for poetry is ancient
a timeless limitless cloak
of thoughts and feelings infinite
as old as language spoke

Yes a poem can mean so much. We reflect so much of ourselves in the words we call poetry. All the best Wazza...Hugs
