Something About a Poem

There's something about a poem That makes me want to rhyme Get straight to the point Read between the lines Open up the stream That flows into the mind There's something about a poem Where I love to spend my time There's something about a poem That has a certain beat Inviting you along Helps you find your seat Like a favorite song A poem can also sing There's something about a poem That sets the spirit free There's something about a poem Has a comfort all its own Happily holds your hand Taking off the load Helping you to cope With its open door Makes you feel at home There's something about a poem
