Be A Writer, Be A Poet! Poem by Denis Martindale

Make the new poems short and sweet
Until at last each stands complete...
Who knows if they'll each be a treat?
Or something that you'd like to tweet?

Yes, Twitter's just a starting place,
When sharing with the Human Race...
Yet poetry picks up a pace...
Across the hours and the days...

And if I can write on the spot...
I know that you could write a lot...
It's up to you to choose... or not...
Yet what you'll write, we know not what...

Surprise us with a sudden flair,
By picking words out of thin air...
Be confident and debonair...
Then write some poems here and there...
