The words of a poet
are thoughts no longer caged,
Like artists’ performances
released on stage

The words of a poet
Are images of dreams,
Of passionate love affairs
That makes souls scream

The words of a poet
Are of broken heart sorrows
Of two lonely lovers
Robbed of their tomorrows

The words of a poet
Are windows of heart and mind
So readers can see emotions
Sweet… or of the darker kind

The words of a poet
Tell of special places
That bring us joy and
Put smiles on our faces

The words of a poet
Is the laughter from within
Bringing many giggles
For other poetic friends

The words of a poet
Are like paintings on a wall
To be freely expressed
And shared with us all

Melton,
  I thank you for your expressions of the essence of a poet's words.  That really is something for us who so practice the art to consider and to give us a sense of satisfaction in.  The words you've shared, I think do us all proud.
       Thanks again,
         David  

Every Day's a Blessing
And Gift-Wrapped from Above,
Share it with another
And Spread the Father's Love!!!

May You come to Know His Best Blessing

Oh I really like this.  The poet puts his thoughts and emotions down for all to see.

Think you've about it summed it up
