Please describe, Thanks

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

A poem is fun to write, you see.
It can have 10 verses, or only 3.

You can make it rhyme, in a sing-song way,
Or you can just speak plainly, like you do each day.

You can tell a tale or or persuade others to see,
In a lighthearted fashion, or seriously.

Just pour out your heart - have some sense of style,
And whether it is liked or disliked, it will still be worthwhile!
