See something

write something

the rule

a poet must follow

 

all our senses

recording moments

conversations

sights and sounds

 

it is a poet's responsibility

to write everything

he sees or hears

all the nuances of life

 

how else can people share

what is in their head

and heart

unless it is written down

 

we wait our turn

to write or our experience

life as it happens

truth as we know it

 

as joyful as the strum of a guitar

uplifting as the play of a piano

words are music to our ears

and played for all their worth.
