So you want to write a poem The world will want to view One that is so perfect It will change a life or two You can try to make it funny And make the readers laugh Or maybe a love story That will bring a feeling back You can try to bring them into it Let them feel the pain Show them their's a different side A new path they can take You can let them see deep within Give them something new Have them ask a question Or answer one for you You can write the 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 get read by very few Still each poem, your poem is just perfect If it touches only you
Write your perfect poem
Poem by: Carl Joseph Roberts (Joe)
Many times when I tell someone a poem, I hear them say, I wish I could write poetry. I sometimes tell them I can teach them how to write the perfect poem and it takes just a minute. I tell them I actually put the instructions into a poem and then share this poem with them. If you just write what you feel it makes it your perfect poem. If matters not how many people read it or even understand it. Each poem is perfect to someone even if that someone is only you.
