Headstall's Reflections - 15. Chapter 15 Poetry Prompt 5- Rhyming couplets- We Poets
Headstall’s Reflections
We Poets
Poets will come and poets will go
And leave our mark with words we sow
Oh so anxious to see them grow
Just a little hoeing to make them flow
Planting syllables in the fertile ground
If no one reads them will they still sound?
Gleeful we dance at a new word found
More in our garden to be verbed and nouned
No matter the whim, it’s not for naught
With all the scenes and emotions wrought
Moments in time that have been caught
And perchance the peace we’ve often sought
One day we might turn and gaze on back
And be proud it wasn’t vision we lack
There’s proof in the words—we have a knack
Many times those rhymes put us back on track
We all have our reasons to pick up pen
For some it’s only a matter of when
Like the purest notes sung by a lone wren
We poets too strive to create our zen
With verse we seek to open a door
And nervously let some see our core
Coaxing private thoughts out to the fore
Maybe they'll be part of future ancient lore
