What is a poem?  Don’t say you don’t know:
      It’s capturing words and then making them grow.
It’s chasing a rhyme over hill, over dale
     And it’s writing on subjects from the wind to a snail.

​

What is a poem?  It’s - - - well, how shall I say?
      It’s working on words and making them play.
It’s trapping some similes, netting those nouns;
     Then sprinkling some colours – reds, blues and browns.

​

The content for poems needs mixing with care
     For a poem is something with others you’ll share.
It’s whipping up rhythm – it’s having some fun;
    Then reciting your poem when all’s said and done.
