Key to Poetry

Yeah poems are for the rhymes

But you ask, why write them, it’s just a waste of time

Feelings, and the way to express them in one

Poems are there to cheer us up when we’re down

All the anger, joy or hurt we feel deep inside

Just put them in words, no feelings to hide

No better person to vent your hurt in than yourself

After writing a poem all those bad thoughts feels like it’s been packed away on a shelf

Don’t have to get a degree to express how you feel

Just put it in words and those bad wounds would be healed

When you’re having another one of those stormy days

 Go back and read those poems and all the dark clouds would fade away.

Stop caring about where, what, why and when

It’s that simple just get a paper and a pen

When writing a poem, what exactly goes through a poet’s head?

Are those exact thoughts and feeling you would have read
