The Poem Is Fine Poem by Jonathan Goldman a.k.a JGthepoet

Poetry? ~ What does it mean?
To write verses daily between
Doing my work or thinking aloud
How these verses will to you sound.

Today, I’ve had to buy
A Rhyming Dictionary ~ why?
With so many poems ‘under-my-belt’
My thoughts no longer ‘run at-full-pelt’.

Have you noticed how my Style has changed?
The subject matter is in a different range.
I write of things that occur to me,
Whether or not profound they be.

But I do try to make them rhyme,
As often as I can, ~ but, not all the time,
And to myself be ever true,
When writing these poems for me and you.

Five verses I usually write,
But the first is the hardest to sound right,
The others run onwards, line by line,
Till the end is reached, and the poem is fine.
