Having Ink To Flow

when we really think about it
in our mind is words so plentiful
can't put a number upon them
they're more value than any jewel

These words so full of description
some so simple others filled with drama
they are at our very fingertips
to be written even if we stammer

This indeed my very inspiration
to know what's written may speak
with a power not of myself
for in me is just too weak

The power is in the words
mingled together in poetic rhyme
to move it's readers emotionally
stirring one's heart time after time

So it's such a real pleasure
having such time and space
to put such words together
hoping others will find them ace


(the power of words and its effect upon those of us who attempt to write poetry)
