From the Heart
I want to touch your heart.
You’re imagination I want to kick start.
The words I write
That sometimes rhythm.
And sometimes may make you cry.
Plum the depths, and reach the highs.
Make you think of summer time.
Paint pictures in your mind, that chime.
But should I have to count the lines.
Stick to strict syllable confines.
Keep it short like in Japan.
Or make it funny if I can.
Or turn myself into a butterfly
Personification I could try.
Write a sonnet to make Shakespeare proud
Be brave hold your head unbowed.
But most of all write from the heart
And others imagination you will spark.
