Substance Makes The Poem Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Substance Makes The Poem



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.

Thank you for writing such a heart-felt and most tender poem. That so perfectly encapsulates everything good in composing a true and honest message. A message that has a broad spectrum and platform to choose from. 10++ and added to my favourites. And if I may call you Cynthia, stay well and healthy and all the loved ones around you. And may God Bless and Keep you all.
