The Game Is Not Played Out
I play the game called poetry,
It means so very much to me
And does some magic to my mind,
Exposing thoughts once left behind.
I feel the meter in my heart
In patterns of poetic art
Where rhyming thoughts electrify
My soul in words I can't deny.
I'm slowly doing better in
The game I wish would never end.
As poetry inside me grows,
The game plays on as I compose.
