How Do You Write Poetry
Brick by brick you build your house
To get married, go find a spouse
Step by step, toddlers start to walk
Sound by sound, infants prepare to talk
By trial and error some learn to cook
Page by page most read a book
Number by number, one counts and counts
To ride a horse, better learn to mount...
But how do you learn to write a poem
To teach a rookie, what do you show 'em
A metaphor, an simile, an idea, a theme?
~ It's not as easy as it might seem!
