I am
similes
metaphors
alliterations...
I am
reason
I am
rhyme
I can teach
preach
scold
and beautify
I am
but a string
of words
on a sheet of paper...
and yet
I can break hearts
I can mend them
make tears
or dry them
I am all
and I am nothing
at all
I am
just another
unread poem
I am a dying
art

No your poems are never a dying art. A very good and abstract poem for the IP Tina

Hi Tina,
I think you have proved that poetry is something
that is not easy to do, it takes a lot of thought,
which I see you have put into this brilliant IP.
Congratulations on well deserved cherries.
Jenny.
