Narrative Poet

Put your pen to the paper.
Become more in tune.
Envision your future
from under the moon.

write it all down,
expressing your thoughts.
Become more a poet;
then tie in the knots.

Talk of the things you're careful to mention;
sharing your memories and time.
Telling the stories that others have lived.
Spelling it out in rhyme.

Then paint us your picture,
just as you see.
Then show us another
as somewhere to be.

Speak out your passions.
We're listening fast.
You're life's composition
of Art made to last.

You've taken it all in...poetry is painting pictures with words. Nicely expressed, Trevor.

Thanks Lin. Not one of my better poems though. A new idea to try out. Thanks for commenting. Nice to hear what others think.
