The Challenge Of Choice! Poem by Denis Martindale

Behold the poem that I write, the choice of words to speak.
It's user-friendly, upbeat, bright, its eloquence unique.
Vivacious as a shooting star, and lightning flashes, too,
And graciously, like poems are, it shares my point of view.

The dictionary proves the key, the treasure trove at hand.
The visionary? Well, that's me. I strive to understand.
For words, as rainbows set the scene, each colour sets the tone.
The readers must know what I mean, or else I stand alone.

That's why I pick and choose the best, then edit with my pen,
And when complete, it's time to rest, and thank God once again.
Great poems help our spirits lift, like pure gold once refined,
For poems are God's precious gift, anointed for Mankind.
