Notes About The Poem

A Thoughtful Poem

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.

Charles Messina August 4, 2019 at 7:40 AM 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 Sandra Haight August 4, 2019 at 9:43 AM 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
