Good Start Poem by Sonya Florentino

Good Start

Rating: 5.0


It’s not the length
It’s the depth
It’s not the rhyme
But how sublime
It’s not the metre
But the pitter-patter
that goes on long after

It’s not the title
That's just a hoax
It’s not the ending
That’s the un-joke

It’s the beginning
That's when it starts
When it first grabs me
By the heart
The moment born
The seduction of poem

Sonya, I love this poem. The sentiments ring so true for me too. If something touches your heart it matters not whether it has the correct pentameters, syallables or otherwise. To me that is what poetry does. You captured it perfectly in this lovely poem. HG: -) xx
