A poem is more than words written on a page
Peering o’er it’s artistry, it’s emotion’s soul stage
A “thing made”, as the Greeks did say
A creation from words in a unique way
It’s a tapestry woven with thought and care
A canvas of feelings that poets share
A melody of language, a dance of rhyme
A glimpse into the depths of space and time
It’s a reflection of the human heart
A work of passion, a form of art
A window to dreams, a mirror of truth
A vessel for wisdom, the fountain of youth
So, what is a poem? It’s a magical blend
Of words and feelings from start to end
A creation, a masterpiece, a glimpse of the divine
A “thing made” that forever will shine
Afterword: “Poem” comes from the Greek poíēmawhich means a “thing made”. This tribute poem is inspired by my previous work: God’s Poem.
