What Is a Poem

This is a poem about writing a poem

Pick a subject in your mind at that very time
Then look for words that rhyme in sound and in manner of time
String them together arranged in certain specific places
To capture your situation, feeling, vision or sensation

Use verses to take a short break before you start to recreate
Following the same pattern as the rings of planet Saturn
Try to explain whats on your mind deep in your brain
Make your neurons inside fire in coincidence

Portary your message like you are modelling clay
Show some emotion in a slick smooth motion
And describe what moves you deep inside
Think of it as a photograph with your own autograph

Your message will be read and if good it will spread
Like a weed using the wind to disperse its seed
Into another head it will spread like butter does on bread
What was said, will be fed then shred until it is finally dead
