A Poem Is...

            Slowly drifting, drifting away

            It’s the waves.

            Only at the right moment

            You can surf unstoppably;

            Only when whim exists within your body

            You can write a poem.

            It’s a savoury appetizer

            Not much,

            But good enough for you to be content

            Although short, a poem is able to make one satisfied

            And to think profoundly

            It’s an abstract painting       

            Which has many different hidden meanings beneath the surface

            There is something new every time you look at it

            Everyone has different views towards it

            Like one does to a poem

            So there is a new meaning every time you read it

            You write poems to express

            You read poems to appreciate

            With a simple poem
            Life can be changed
