So you want to write a poem The world will want to view A poem that is so perfect It will change a life or two You can try to make it funny And make the reader laugh Or maybe a love story That brings a feeling back You can try to pull them into it Help them feel the pain Show them there's a different side A new path they can take You can let them see deep within Show them something new Have them ask a question Or answer one for you You can write a perfect poem If it's what you want to do Just take the time and feel the words That are deep inside of you But know that many poems of the past They are read by very few Still each poem, your poem is just perfect If it touches only you
