NaPoWriMo April 26th - Ballad for Emily D.



The words we read, the lines we write, 
are gaps in time, that soon take flight –

poetry has that property
transporting you through space – 
we write a word and make a rhyme
and aim it to its place – 

if accurate, we hit the mark,
we reach the goal we seek – 
but if precise, we claim the prize,
and scale the highest peak – 

the words and rhymes unwind, divide
with measured purpose, need – 
then seek to replicate the thought
and shape the world of deeds – 

The message in the poems we write
is free, yet hidden in plain sight.
