What is a Poem?

What is a poem? 

Well, a poem is a song.

What song?

A lullaby, and the lyrics are your dreams.

A poem is the river rushing, carrying thoughts and words.

A never ending sky, and the caw of a lonely bird.

Moonlight, starlight. A child's laugh, a grown man's tear.

Inspiration, Imagination.

But what makes a poem?

You.

  • Mother Earth

    In the cradle of the galaxy’s abyss, we float

    Born and aged through evolutions, revolutions

    The Earth has been here, and we are passengers on a never ending journey in our orbit round the sun

  • Lullaby

    Carried by the songbird’s wings 

    Through forests bright, caverns dim, 

    Flying in the wild wind.  

    Tears have been shed and goodbyes have been said 

    And the light is leaving from your eyes.
