Ode To the Poet

The words you share, they touch the heart Coming from yours then, a natural thing The thoughts, the care, the love you impart Make me just read so, again and again I take each write, so penned by you all Take them, consume them, live them, I do Within the words I become enthralled To live vicariously, making all true Sometimes I read them more than one time For the words are so lovely, I simply must I fall in love with the stories and rhyme I swim in the ink, of this you can trust I enjoy all the words to get lost in the read Let the poet’s ink write, the poet’s heart bleed
