Ars Poetica

A poem to me can be lifeless and bleak.

It fancy’s up the page, beautiful, yet sleek.


It’s beauty my shine

Or shiver up like a vine


It may touch your heart, or make you fall asleep

But it won’t ever heal the wounds that you hold so deep.


Not unless you let them all go

Dancing on the page, to and fro.


A poem does not have to rhyme

It can be like rain on a sunny day.


It’s your heart that is poetry.

It opens your eyes and teaches you how to see


So many things a poem is or is not

In deep thought, poetry is simply not


Not a way to win a girls heart

Not a way to be very smart


A poem is simply your life in verse
