I want to be a poem Drawn out using long words and comas Penciled before penned in case you write me wrong Find a spark in me and write about it Write down all the words and phrases that come to your mind when I cross it Think about what you want to achieve Will I be one for the books or just another in your leather notebook filled with other girls names Let the creativity flow like a river after it has been drowned in the rain, pushing the excess water it can no longer hold Use concrete imagery and vivid descriptions Paint all of the abstract concepts like you are painting your favorite piece of artwork in black and white Use poetic devises to enhance the beauty in meaning Add a sharp turn at the end Leave the reader hanging Read over me, memorize every punctuation Bring me to life and read me out loud Bring rhythm to my every syllable and make me a song Edit my body if it does not suit you Make any changes that you see fit If I do not rhyme, do not fret Even blank verse poetry can be beautiful I believe all poetry is a work of art I want you to see me in a frame Why else did you think I asked you to write me down?
