The Special Gift
writing a poem isnt that hard
just write what you feel straight from your heart
all you have to do is sit back and think for a minute
dig around inspiration and grab whats in it
remember the thoughts that swim in your head
and intricately weave them on paper like thread
and with each thought that you write down
remember that feeling is key when emotion is bound
the flow from a poem is like the flow from your heart
conveying emotions and thoughts like a painting in art
if it wills you to do so use instinct instead
let your senses be your guide for the thoughts in your head
you can even reach deeper into your subconscious mind
and write about dreams and visions in time
poetry is a gift that only man can convey
and no other species can express it this way
