Trudy Diane Rider Poet Rhyme

Syntax I Am

I'm just a little turn of phrase,
to help them smile and amaze,
not appear boring or dull.

I'm your voice, how you sing,
how you make them all take wing,
suck them in, then create a lull.

Feel my rhythm, feel me sway,
long, meandering thoughts to get you lost and find your way,
or short and succinct to get you down the street.

A little syntax now and then,
wielded by the poets pen,
to the ear is pleasant and sweet.

Graphite Drug June 20, 2016 at 1:19 PM Great rhyme, short and sweet. The third stanza is interesting "Long, meandering thoughts" has the longest line. I enjoy this work. Trudy Diane Rider June 20, 2016 at 5:40 PM Was used as an example of that particular part of syntax. Thank you! It made it's point! ::grin::
