Only A Poet

Write me a smile with your magic word

And write it nice and wide

Write me a whisper, that's never been heard

To show what you're feeling inside

Write me a tear, as it runs down your cheek

Each time that you need to cry

Write me strength, when you're feeling weak

Or love that will make me sigh

Write me the anger, when it doesn't go your way

Or contentment, each time that it does

Write me tomorrow, instead of today

Or maybe the way that it was

Write me your heartache, with all of your pain

When your heart's been broken in two

Then write me the pieces of you that remain

For I need to feel them too

Write me the morning and evening skies

Or maybe even noon or night

Whatever emotion your lonely heart cries

Like only a poet can write

This is beautiful! I love the way you expressed this. I truly believe that you could be given any subject to write about and you would write the best!

"magic word" haha! I love that! instead of a magic wand, very clever. Great poem--really portrays what poetry should be able to do.

Perfect guidelines to follow if ever in doubt of what to write, I think. Sometimes we get caught up in trying to find inspiration, myself included, and forget to just write what we know. Well done, Whisk.

This is the voice that bids us write and the soul we wish to meet on said page.
