There are always stories to tell and poems to write.
Closing your eyes and hoping to offer some insight.
Maybe it’s a phrase or certain words that you hear.
Tributes to family or friends that were lost in any year.
To make your creative efforts really do well and shine
You are always looking to perfectly rhyme every line.
You play with rhyming words and then you edit as you go
Perhaps there’s a message for readers to share and know.
There’s at least eight lines of verse and sometimes more.
Consider old rhyme lines and maybe a new one to explore.
Many poetic thoughts or ideas that you mentally rehearse
Before your pen hits that paper to create another verse.
