How Poetry's Conveyed
Think of a toddler's wobbly walk
or a feather tickling your cheek.
The first time you heard your child talk
or the laugh of a chuckling creek.
Feel the heartbreak of solitude
or the pain in a single tear.
A disparaging platitude
or paralyzing bouts of fear.
Envision a golden sunrise
glinting off the wings of a dove.
The spark within an infant's eyes
or memories of your first love.
Gaze at the moon's celestial light
or mountains glistening with snow.
The twinkling stars piercing the night
or the ocean tides ebb and flow.
What caused your heart to break or melt
among the emotions relayed?
Now, put to paper how it felt,
that's how poetry gets conveyed.
