A good poem paints a picture For both your heart and brain. It doesn't need a second chance To make its meaning plain.A good poem is like the flower The lily or the rose. God plants it in a poet's brain And there its beauty grows.A good poem like a cardinal Is pregnant with song You can't help but hear its message As it sings what's right or wrong.A good poem helps us remember What the joys of life are for It makes us want to love someone Till death comes knocking at our door.
