A Proem To a Poem

Poems, are works of poet.
Cos all poet,
are led by thought.
And poems are to loose a knot.
A poem makes thing so clear,
Even if, its subject is never near.
For all poem
Has it own proem.
A poem speaks,
Not as the green thinks.
For a judge in court,
Has once slept, in cot.
Poems are deep thoughts,
Even if, they might be so short.
For fourteen line poems are
sonnet.
And ballads are works of poet.
Poems are not forgotten,
Cos they are not for nothing,
But to treat a topic,
As a story could be in epic.
