Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Poetry Man

Well I'm just a simple poetry man
With rhymes about joys of the heart
I live in this fantasy kingdom of words
I turn on the switch and it starts

Words and phrases come cascading out
Of love and life's simple pleasures
I can't stop the flow I have no control
The joy that it brings is unmeasured

I'm new at this game of writing down words
That reflect my innermost feelings
My wish from the start is to touch every heart
And to raise every soul to the ceiling

Well I'm just a simple poetry man
With rhymes about life and my feelings
I see many people unhappy and sad
And wish that my words could be healing
