A Poem by Sam Freeland

poetry
 
poetry reflects the mind
so be csreful with the words you use
readers will get the message
for which there is no excuse
 
rhyme is used in love poetry
heard in lyrics everywhere
when it is not used
the writer limits some care
 
words that rhyme are limited
language can hide the mind
searching for words of love
takes a real effort to find
 
Capitals are needed for boldness
showing what you don't have
avoid them when you can
if your message is a salve
 
rewriting will never be easy
it usually fails to say
you didn't like your message
it had to be said a different way
 
have only the number of stanzas
that the reader can tolerate
poetry is less effective
your poem is not a debate
 
stay on one page
turning will lose the thought
you didn't want this to happen
or your message will not be bought
 
if you have more to say
just write another poem
the number has no limit
when writing is not a tome

Great wisdom in your words. Words can create dreams or lead people into dangerous water. I believe poetry is a release and something left for the future to read and try to grasp the thoughts and action of the last generations. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
