What makes a poem a poem? Why do rhyming words in a certain fashion have such a great effect? Is it my expression? Your fascination? Or is there no explanation Why do the few descriptive words set the scene of tranquility and beauty? Serenity Amenity is my identity How is it that the rhythm gets you going just the right way Setting the beat Beating the heat because no matter what i just can't be beat But sometimes isn't poetry more of your feelings? I'm not striving for the perfect line Frankly i don't care i just want you to be mine Oh (insert lover's name here) you are just divine So here I am with my pen and paper trying to impress the world But poetry should have more of a meaning it should come out of your heart but my heart doesn't have much in it, it has quite a bit of room so brb ttyl bada bing bada boom
