Question: How's this for a poem about poetry!? Nothing deep, but true!.!?
"Anyone can write a poem"
that's what people say,
but when some sit down, pen in hand,
the words don't come their way!.

It takes a lot of searching
in your head and in your heart,
to write down all your inner thoughts,
your feelings to impart!.

You write down your ideas,
spell them out, one at a time;
and you have to write them clearly,
and you have to make them rhyme!.

Sometimes they bring a tear or two,
sometimes they bring a laugh,
but you have to put them down complete
you can't just do them half!.

"cause when a person reads your poems
the meaning he should find,
not only in the words he "sees"
but in between the lines!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow! That's really good! I like the way it makes you feel something, like all good poems should!. You should try looking for a poetry contest to enter that in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well technically u don't have to rhyme!. poetry is a creative way to express thoughts, feelings, emotions, troubles, experiences, etc!. if u just write a few stanzas down, whether they rhyme or even make sense i guess u could consider that poetry!.!.!.!.i like the last two lines but u aperson duznt always hav to find the meaning of the poem either!.!.!.!.!.sumtimes its just more fun to guess at the meaning and hav fun w/ it ^_^Www@QuestionHome@Com

i thought it was very good, and stayed in meter, which is important!. only one technical comment, and that is not all poetry has to rhyme, such as free verse and other forms, such as the haiku and tanka!. thanks for sharing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
