Poetry


Dave Oakes


Poetry is a state of mind
Not what we read or write
Poetry is in our lives every day
At our depths and at our heights.
Birds flying so fluidly in the sky
Flowers blooming before our eyes
Athletes performing at their best
Many things can provoke our sighs.
A person can write down anything
Sometimes it may rhyme ad others not
But, does it inspire your feelings
And make you feel cold or hot.
Does it paint a picture in your mind
Can you envision what they mean
Does it touch the depths of your soul
Can it fill you up when times are lean.
I believe not all people have the poet in them
Some acknowledge it while others don’t know
And some believe they are and write rhymes
But their rhymes have got no soul.
