Pen, pencil and paper in hand with lots of smooth ink flowing
Thought and ideas pops up in the mind well worth the knowing
Then typed or written on paper not always in an orderly fashion
The making of rhyme and rhythm is one of our greatest passion
Putting these poetry in motion shows proof of the writers art
In order to make it a worthy write you give it all of your heart
Poetry is a like a river of water you go along with the flow
If you're unable to keep the pace you'll get lost in the undertow
It comes in all kind of titles wisdom, peace, love or hate
Then finally put together so that others may read and relate
They can encourage, provoke deep thoughts or may be uplifting
It is solely up to you the reader to do all of the fine sifting

Really, it's very nice! When we write poem, sometimes we face this situation. Of course others review help us improve our style of write. Great!
Sifting through the words of a poem for its implicit meanings. Very well thought out and imaginative poem.
Poetry, like a running river has a smooth flow, often with a calm surface and with layers of meaning underneath as the under currents. If we dive deep, we may sometimes get pearl bearing oysters, especially when the writer has given it all his art! An enjoyable read!
when we put our poetry in rhyme and verse, it quenches our inner thirst many like to write in prose, but we're different, we're like a rose.
All my life people have said to me, still waters run deep, because I'm so shy. It's like poetry being written, we put words in verses (still waters) , and feelings and emotions (run deep) are all running deep with meaning and definition. Absolutely loved your poem, it's excellent and portrays our poetical writings in an honest, upbeat rhythm. Thank you for sharing. Especially thank you for your comments on my poems. You are very kind. RoseAnn
Poetry should have a beginning a middle and an ending with a meaning just like this poem that's poetry in motion...not always easy...regards
