What is a poem?
Is it just sentences that rhyme?
Same sounding words
Line after line.

No it's more than that.

It's reliving again
With the power of a pen,
The tears she wept
The happieness she felt.

Showing a life
Telling a story,
In all of its meaning,
In all of its glory.

This is quite a unique poem, josiebelle. I don't think anyone ever wrote about what a poem really is! Congrats on the great work. You should really get published!

P.S Would you mind reading and commenting on a bit of my work?
