We Are the Poem

We're leaves upon the wind it seems, That somehow find a way. Observers of a world with dreams. That long to have their say. Our thoughts like rhythmic water flow Into the ocean's song. And we create the boats that row. So all can sail along. We're laureates and troubadours, Writers of the woe. Ancient sands upon the shores. Wind and rain and snow. Pleasure, pain and misery. Reflections of the mind. We're all of life, a potpourri Of verse for all mankind. o

Robert You captured the writer in every aspect and way. We all have our own unique style and emotions that we put into our work for the reader to enjoy. Thank you for the great comment on my The Sea Too You poem.
