you might think
a poem
is an easy thing
just some words
on different lines
word after word after word
some of them rhyme
some of the time
sometimes
……….there
……………are
……………….long
…………………..pauses
between them

a poem is painted
thoughts illustrated with letters
it can be cryptic;
hidden messages about the one that got away
who still haunts your heart,
or at least your dreams
it can be literal, or mean nothing at all
but words on paper can heal, ignite, or wound
releasing the words from inside your head
can be the difference between sleep and worry
a poem can be a lot of things
easy or hard
the choice is yours
