People write poetry,
for diverse reasons,
as in poems that describe
the yearly seasons.
Poetry can cause
your heart to soar,
making you want
to write even more.
It can make
love words flow
and it can make
a friend from a foe.
If you give
poetry a chance,
it can make angel's
perform a celestial dance.
Poetry can show the love
for Father and Mother
and describe the antics
of your brother.
Poetry can describe
anything people do,
it can reveal
the hatred, too.
Poems have been written
about a day at the beach,
nothing is out of
poetry's reach.
It can make king's of old
come alive
or make you sad enough
to cry.
Poetry can help relationships
to mend
and it can also
help them to end.
I write poetry
of who, what and when,
as the blood flows
from my heart
to my pen.
