I Wish I'D Said That

I would love to compose a poem
one that abounds
with heart and warmth and rhythm
a poem that skips merrily along
gladdening hearts and enlightening minds
a poem that evokes a chuckle or two
that invites a pause for contemplation
that poses the question 
”Have you read this?”
and elicits the command
“You really must”
should this poem
flit and flutter
with a butterflies gossamer touch
lightly, playfully
or should it dig deep 
be revealing and insightful
should it pose questions
or should it reveal answers
it should I suspect 
do all of that
but
I think what it must do
is touch the reader
in such a way
that they sit back 
somewhat pensive
somehow gladdened 
and think to themselves
“I wish I’d said that”
