Roses are red
Violets are blue
These types of poems
Make up only a few.
In poetry, many people think
The lines must be rhyming,
Or follow a certain beat,
And have specific timing.
However, as long as what you write
Comes straight from the heart,
Your poetry writing will be successful
Right from the start.
So grab a pen
And open your notebook,
And open your heart.
Forget about structure,
Criteria and everything else,
Because your best writings you’ll find
Occur when you’re relaxed,
Carefree and open.
With an open heart
And an open mind
You can be the best writer
You can possibly be.
