What's In A Poem?
by
Laura Beth Leither
Writing poems allows one to express
Moments and feelings others keep abreast
Those times when you just need to let loose
The fears, the joys, the lies, and the truths
Putting them into a ryhmed set of lines
Hoping their meanings will once again shine
Sometimes a poem is written and that's all
No hidden messages to be withdrawn
Others are full of clues and hints
Nothing is literal and nothing makes sense
But only the poet knows for sure
The interpretations that are so pure.
