Day 28 NaPoWriMo Challenge

Today we are challenged to try our hand at a meta-poem.  This is a poem about poetry.


A Poem......

A poem can be spoken, yet silent
free flowing water down its course
gentle movement of an ocean
for poetry is of the moment
       racing free like a droplet of rain

A poem comes from the heart
warm as blood pumping through veins
never caged or hidden out of sight
but wild as birds soaring on the breeze
        released to catch the evening light

A poem can be many different things
from growls of displeasure heard
to leaps of dancers around the Maypole
to each individual see poetry their own way
          vibrant yet so personal 

A poem is lyrical, unique in every way
invisible words felt through the soul
emotions expressed with slight of pen
a poem is not an item to have
          its just there to be...
