Poetic verse is a tool to be used like an artist uses a brush.
When it paints a scene that captures your soul or turns your heart to mush,
If it makes a point or an emotional appeal and stimulates your mind,
Then it speaks with words that open up a kaleidoscope of rhyme.
Colors splashed on canvas bright are dull without a beat.
The rhythm rules as sounds progress where pen and paper meet.
If time permits a tale is told an epic in the making.
A chance to blend the soul and mind is not for lightly taking.
A measure here a meter there with balanced harmonic line,
will capture every one who reads a verse in clever rhyme.
It may be short or be it long it really doesn't matter.
Reflections of the way we feel or simple idle chatter.
