How To Write a Poem ?

I sat for days and day’s wondering, 
How to write a poem ?,
I thought if it doesn’t rhyme is it a crime,
or if there’s no flow, or if it reads to slow, 
or makes no sense , for days and days I sat on the fence, 
wondering how do you write a poem.

In truth there is no way to write a poem,
it’s about inviting people into your imagination
taking the reader to your destination, 
sharing the experiences of every emotion,
with every  word  your loving devotion,
it’s about your ideas and fears 
laughs and tears 
memories made throughout the years,
so really its up to you how you chose to write your poem.
