How We Compose Poems As True, Dedicated Poets
How We Compose Poems As True, Dedicated Poets
I love how a poem starts with the first dreamy word
Just as beautiful melodies beg to be heard
Then poet quite wide awake and clear starts to dream
Soon he is picking up like locomotive on steam
Bringing heart and mind into a much higher gear
Truth and fantasy begin like song from birds
Does not matter if about love or abject fear
What matters, imagination, life, love may gift words
But the poet may be a beginner or star
What reader wants is to touch that dear beating heart
Does not matter, the when, where, how or who you are
Poetry pleases reader and is a fine start.
As poets we cast images to others please.
For some, may be hard, for others may be with ease.
Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet
