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.

  • 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.
