With a pen or pencil
A hand with a pen or pencil
For sometime has been active
Regarding poetry
Within an old school jotter
A part of the artistic realm
Centuries old
Containing rythmn or rhyme
Which adds to human life
An art which enters ones being
And contributes to its welfare
Accompanied by images and sounds
Including the presence of beauty
The bards or the poets of life are as
Necessary as the air we breathe
And like a snowdrop announces
The arrival of spring...
