    What Is A Poem
    Thoughts, feelings, inspirations
    Dreams, nostalgia, expectations
    Fear, sadness, pain and glory
    Words written down that tell a story

    Many are simple, just verses and rhyme
    Words from the heart, words from the mind
    Others provoke us to think and to dream
    To ponder the words, to picture the scene

    Some are obscure and hard to pin down
    Some cause us to smile. some cause us to frown
    Some make us laugh, and some make us cry
    Still others make us wonder why

    A poem can do many wonderful things
    Like the words of a song that your mind can sing
    How simple a thing this has been for me
    Writing a poem about poetry

    Great cadence and wit in this piece... Almost nostalgic in all the various aspects of what a poem is all about and it's intrinsic value to everyone... Great write, I enjoyed this one... Sometime, check out my piece on "What Is A Poet?"...

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
