How Poetry's Conveyed
Think of a baby's stunning smile;
or a feather tickling your cheek.
And the day you ran your first mile;
or the laugh of a chuckling creek.
Feel the heartbreak of solitude;
or the pain of a single tear.
And a degrading platitude,
or paralyzing bout of fear.
Envision a golden sunrise
glinting off the wings of a dove.
And the spark in an infant's eyes;
or memories of your first love.
Gaze at the moon's celestial light;
or mountains glistening with snow.
Watch the twinkling stars pierce the night;
or the rising tide, ebb, and flow.
What caused your heart to break or melt;
among the emotions relayed?
Now, pen to paper, what you felt;
that's how poetry gets conveyed.
