A thoughtful poem: find words, my prey- All other things are pushed away. While tracking them down with my heart Exploring, finding the right part- The chase can lead night into day. Best words or lovely phrase to say What's tugging at my heart today, Are all I need to quick jumpstart- A thoughtful poem. The meter, rhyme, without delay Await the treasured words while they, As captured prey, become the art- March to my tune and soon impart The imageries that will convey- A thoughtful poem.

Beautiful poem Sandra. Unfortunately in your line " A thoughtful poem, find words..my prey" there are 9 syllables. Thanks for entering my contest. Hugs Charlie

Oh, Charles! That word 'poem' sometimes slips by in my mind as one syllable instead of two! At least I counted it correctly in the other two lines! Thanks for the nice contest and for the HM! Hugs, Sandra
