The Poet Worthy of Praise

He or she who can put pen to paper

 
And write words for all to cherish and savour

Who can touch the heart and fire the mind

And make us see things as if we were blind

Who paints word pictures, again and again

With the swiftest strokes of a fountain pen

Awakening feelings of wonder and awe

That, perhaps haven’t been sensed before

Who makes heavy hearts feel at ease

As easily as warm winds bend willow trees

Truly, on that Poet’s words we must feed

For surely they’re worthy of praise indeed.
