Poets Gesture

We are engaged in thoughts 
That ripple and flow 
To be able to put them together 
And make the lines crow
Then to have a rhythm and tone
Words that take you to the 
Intellectual zone
Vocabulary a must 
Meaningful and robust 
Have it all make sense 
Some may be so clever and have a pretense
But what ever you write 
Make it ignite 
Have touch the deepest place 
With the reader 
Wiping the tears from their face
Never to erase 
The meaning 
Put in place  
Have a great beginning 
And an end that will send 
You into the readers mind
Where they may 
Transcend 
To comprehend 
A poet’s gesture
