Why Poems?

Some days when I have spare time I try getting things to rhyme To me it’s a kind of game Finding words that end the same

I did try a diff’rent way But rhyming couplets won the day! I do not write to impress But it’s my way to express

A saying that I have heard ‘Pictures paint a thousand word(s)’ But because I cannot draw I, through my words, do explore

At night, when I lie in bed Words float around in my head Then I try to capture them Form them into a poem

I think it helps me to tell Tales and stories extra well And, in doing so, I find Things get clearer in my mind

I pray that in what I share You will see that I care So that in this time you’ll cope And these poems will bring hope!
