I want to write a poem, About something colorful, Something with meaning and truth. I want to write about what matters the most, Or maybe about whats matters to much. Or I can write about a day I can't forget, And the shades it's colored my heart. I want to write a poem. It has to be about something deep tho, That is thought provoking or hilarious. Maybe I'll use words that imply, Personify, or justify... The thoughts in a day, Or a moment in an hour. Of a situation or some correlation Of what I should feel if feelings were being felt. I could also write about something without meaning or impact, Just to share a rhyme or rhythm, Of something already shared, Or a moment generalized, Instead of personalized. So I'm not criticized, For just wanting to write a poem. Leaving stagnant paint wear words were suppose to color. Fears fruit looks like empty pages of my journal, Where peoms use to be written, And feelings were banners of declarations. I want to write a poem. With balance and precision And maturity and provisions. I want to to be clear and yet raw With words that build what I'm trying to say, The expressions of a light or heavy day, And the conclusion, if I may. Poetry is art written by the heart, Shared with the mouth, Expressed with emotion, Felt in the soul, And understood by the mind. I guess I said all that to say, I want to write a poem
