Substance makes the poem literally live,
It's the tasty flavor that our words give.
It's the probing meaning that touches the heart,
It's the sweet aroma that a poem imparts.
Substance is like a melody to an old love song,
That stays in memory and makes us sing along.
It's the depth of an idea that we can remember,
The wisdom of a thought that stays much longer.
Substance is not about the number of poems we write
But the beauty and depth of words, words that delight.
