April National Poetry Month Now Welcome To A Short Poem

"A true writer must write. Ink is in their veins." By Poet 

Writers love their many letters to choose from, 
letters turning into words then into sentences.
Poems come from the love of writing,
writing about the past or maybe about the present.
Poems can be true or false,
some will make you cry and others will make you laugh.
The writer and reader are both in love,
in love with letters, words, sentences and reading.
