Writing poems...

When we want to write a poem

it can be difficult to find

the right words.

We start with a blank page,

an empty canvas;

waiting for us to paint our story

upon it.

Some look for inspiration 

from the skies, the trees, 

the world outside.

Others write from the soul;

pouring out their feelings on paper.

Not all words have to be deep.

Our poems don't have to rhyme.

They could make no sense at all

as long as we let it out.

Because what use is a poem 

              

  if it is lost.

A poem should not mean.        But be.        -Archibald MacLeish

Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of of cheese.
		-G.K. Chesterton
