A Poet Lives Here

A door has opened up to me
Inside that room lives poetry

It invites me in
Says take a seat
And offers me its words to eat

It embraces me
Then takes my coat
Then sings to me
In special notes

It comforts me
Says stay awhile
Encourages me
With its warm smile

It offers me a place to stay
And says please come back any day

I am your friend 
It says to me
I open up
It sets me free
