In one of my writers groups there are many poets. I love poetry and am stunned by those with the ability but I will never aspire to be a poet. I find that I'm so attached to the need for the perfect word, the perfect meaning, that to forsake the best word for one that rhymes is something I have no desire to do, lol.
I gave them a challenge to write a poem and felt I'd better be worthy of the challenge myself.
Here is the only poem I am apt to write:
"Words"
Words have a power all their own
Words can put you on a thrown
Words can easily knock you down
The pain cutting you from across town
Words can serve to lift and inspire
To bring us to heights, to light that fire.
When seeking just the right word that will serve
I find that for rhyming, I lose my nerve.
