I am
similes
metaphors
alliterations...

I am
reason
I am
rhyme

I can teach
preach
scold
and beautify

I am
but a string
of words
on a sheet of paper...
and yet

I can break hearts
I can mend them
make tears
or dry them

I am all
and I am nothing
at all

I am
just another
unread poem
I am a dying
art

No your poems are never a dying art. A very good and abstract poem for the IP Tina ;)Pia

Many thanks for your words, Pia. Much appreciated;-) Tina

Hi Tina, I think you have proved that poetry is something that is not easy to do, it takes a lot of thought, which I see you have put into this brilliant IP. Congratulations on well deserved cherries. Jenny.

Hi there, Jenny:-) Thank you so much. Actually, this was one of those poems that literally wrote itself. I only wish they all did;-) Tina
