The Poem
by Sharmagne Leland St.John

The poem refreshes life so that we share
Fetch the quill and ink
Scribe a poem because we care

Sometimes our souls we must lay bare
No tarry time to think
The poem refreshes life so that we share

Write a canto if we dare
Swim or sink
Scribe a poem because we care

Create a poem and leave it there
Your genius on the brink
Sometimes our souls we must lay bare

Plan out your poem with words so rare
Make your reader stop to think
Scribe a poem because we care

Do not at the blank page stare
Fill with curlicues of ebon ink
Scribe a poem because we care
Sometimes our souls we must lay bare
