o write a verse poet,
to kinder the soul,
to soothe it so,
until we can feel,
every verse put to paper,
then from each stroke of your pen,
tell us what's on your mind
taking us to worlds unknown
to lands unconquered
to places undiscovered.
tell us what's on mind
o great one,
tell us so that we may know
coming directly from
the poet's pen......
