Give me poetry

I want beautiful words

Tell me about the birds

And the bees

 

Wrap me in adjectives

Curled around nouns

I don’t care if it elicits

A smile

Or a frown

 

Take me to places

I’ve never been

Illustrious spaces

Felt

But not seen

 

Paint me a picture

Invoke thoughts of a bard

Conjure up deities

Weave magic spells

I will even forgive you

If your words come out

Jarred

 

Remind me of oceans

Salty sea smells

Romance me with tales

Of heaven and hell

 

Do your work poets

Make me see what you see

I want to catch

Your scent on the breeze

 

So write me a poem

I’ll write one for you

We’ll paint pictures

With words

And unite the world

 

I guess by now you have noticed

I’m a romantic at heart

I think for a poet

That is a good start

 

So send me your words

And I’ll send you mine

We’ll dress them in feathers

And they’ll float

For all time

 

I have a yearning

For rhythm and rhyme

Let the magic of words

Mingle with the sublime

 

Send me your poems

And I’ll send you mine.
