What's In A Poem?

What's in a poem, That man can't destroy? Essentially Love, With feelings to spare, A love so deep, That it does then dare, Surround the World, With sweetest care. What's in a poem? The poet's soul, Imagination, encircles all, Musical tones, A waltz from the heart, Deepest feelings, that don't depart. What's in a poem? A micro-world, Of sounds and wonders, Of things unheard, Of thoughts that thunder, And fly like birds! Of feelings turned, Into precious words. Epilogue A poem must never be dark, It must convey the light, the spark, That lingers in the poet's heart, Of which the reader must be part.
