Art; a reflection of an artist's soul -
expressing oneself the auspicious goal -
tho' merit of the musing lie in ability -
the talent lay in doing so expressively
Rhyme or prose be the writer's choice -
it matters only to hear the writer's voice -
rhythm is a silent beat of the written line -
all is lost lest word and flow entwine
Share an emotion, a feeling, or a belief –
satirize, scrutinize, or offer a relief –
give life to an idea stirring in the heart -
consider the meaning before you start

Paint a picture with vivid stroke –
a smell, a taste, a feeling evoke –
create with learned artist's ease –
add life with brilliant imageries.
Observe the works of poet's past -
weave a word you hope will last -
use the tools of an artist's trade -
preserve the verse artistically made
Escape the monotony of everyday –
dare the mind release and play –
invite a moment in the artist's lair –
reveal the reflections held captive there
Tantalize thoughts with woven word –
romance it, enhance it, dare the absurd -
is not the subject which matters most –
creative musing captivates its host.
Invite the readers to participate in -
a fantastic journey from heart to pen -
with artistic weaving take them there -
arriving before they are hardly aware
Create an illusion within the reader's mind -
intrigue your guests with symbols of kind -
or succinctly say what needs to be said -
offer nothing to word than what is read
Apoet's work is her railway so arduously wrought -
words are mere boxcars on her train of thought -
as she winds thru the hills of poetic inspirations -
she rests in the valleys of her artistic creations.
