Why a Poem Is More Than Ink On a Page

Why A Poem Is More Than Ink On A Page Why a poem is more than ink on a page its heart, soul and sweet treasure at any age can be expressing sorrows and deep rage or gems of wisdom from a brilliant sage, a singer that lyrics so sweetly move or artist that dares to share cool groove a magical huntress, for true romance a bold gambler, willing to take a chance. Why poems are more than just paper ink stained they are truth, often from those painting, deep pained they are treasures, from those with braver hearts or valiant cast dreams from across star charts, a warrior, singing of courageous deeds or farmer, planting hope and true word seeds a sailor, sailing through turbulent storms a paper kids sitting in college dorms. Why poems are gifts that the reader rewards they are aces in life's hands of living cards with wins that can benefit one and all or valiant words sent to answer a call, a lost soul, asking for some great relief or sinner unburdening darkest grief a lover, horribly lost in a maze a phoenix rising from hot, fiery haze. Why a poem is more than ink on a page its heart, soul and sweet treasure at any age can be expressing sorrows and deep rage or gems of wisdom from a brilliant sage, a singer that lyrics so sweetly move or artist that dares to share cool groove a magical huntress, for true romance a bold gambler, willing to take a chance.
