We Are Poets

We rhyme with wonder,
 add aroma to art;
build with pen and pad.
We wield wealthy words
and give them wide wings.

We are nothing
but pencils in 
the hands of he
who owns our heart.

In pains and
perils, in
peace and war,

we sail.
We are

poets

Thanks for your comments on mock orange blossoms...I love the "we sail" ending of this poem...a perfect image, for life as well as writing.

I really like this one, Adeleke. It truly describes the nature of what some of us are....and it relates to my "Within Me" piece. Fantastic write! I've read some of your others, and you definately have talent! Jackie
