A poem can touch your heart
Turning a river into blood
Imagining a word can stop a flood

A poem can surround your soul
Turn a second into love
Phrases fit like hand in glove

A poem can intoxicate your mind
Turning rhythm into a high
The sounds, the sway will bring a  sigh

A poem can raise your spirit
Turning language into ART
Making speech the foremost part

A poem can express using words
Feelings and thoughts of a moment
Pulling from us our every sentiment
