How to write a poem 
You wonder 
How to write a poem 
You ponder.
I say, it's no big deal 
Put your thoughts on a paper 
Whatever you feel.
Feel the zephyr 
Brushing past your face 
Imagine little leaves 
Dancing with grace.
Feel the soothing hum of a song
Melting through your ears 
Feel the golden glow of the Sun
Shining and saying, Cheers!
Feel the patter of the rain 
Quenching thirst of the rivers
Feel warmth of a fireplace 
That takes away the shivers.
Paper has more patience 
than people 
A poem is a story in rhythm 
Like a drop with lasting ripple.
Write what you feel 
It may make someone's day 
It has never broken anyone 
It may only heal 
Hearts, minds and souls alike, 
With its essence it will seal.
