You Are a Poet and Don'T Know It

YOU'RE A POET AND DON'T KNOW IT When it comes to writing a poem The field is exceedingly wide Write all you can And your skill will expand You may begin to see a new side Don't let the bad weather faze you Its color is what you abide Form words in your mind And you quickly will find New thoughts will give you a ride Life should be lived in its fullness Yet be careful with how you fulfill it Your thoughts and your words As you closely observe May cause you to need to just chill it If you feel you have something to say Say only that which is kind Then you'll know soon enough That it wasn't just fluff Which you had in your own little mind No matter how plain are your words And how lovely they sound to yourself There always will be Those who will flee And want you back on a shelf Keep trying to write all you can With different modes and design Learn new ways to do it As you slowly go through it At last your poetry will shine Copyright, Kathryn Search
