Between The Lines Poem by Dwayne Banks

Poems are written to relay pain and spite
poems are also written, to show wrong from right
The ability to show a special point of view
is like finding out, people have a clue
Words have a meaning, simply by themselves
putting them with others, opens the shelves
Sometimes poems are chaotic, severly tangled
thats because the subject has been mangled
Often I see a relation to all of lifes' dramas
some write about the good, others about the traumas
A poem is an actor that needs a place to be
words are its contents, subjects are its key
Situations often cause certain words to be used
salutations can make sure words are not abused
A pen in the hand can bring pain to the heart
though a hand with a brain, is a better start
Rhymes often mimick very subtle lines
poems in Nature are rythmic at times
People often see the illusion without knowing
children see beyond, because they are growing
So, when a poem is read or lymeric is said
read between the lines, before you go to bed
