Words that rhyme or a cup of coffee served at the right time,
Is it what all a poem needs or does it hone in taste like wine?
Thouhgts aligned straight or words intertwined,
Do tough times evoke emotions or does happiness work just fine?

If I say words randomly and set them in order,
Will it become a poem then or do I have to try harder?
What if I feel something but words don’t find their way?
Will I ever be able to write something or blank I’d have to stay?

If there are lines only a few, scribbled in a way that sounds new.
Can it not be gibberish for a while or is it paramount to connect with souls few?
The lines do rhyme, is it a poem or a verse?
Some exude appreciation, some bless curse.
Can I only rhyme and not worry if it makes sense?
Will it be a poem then if I commit sins in the tense?
