Poetry
It’s not as easy as it looks
To put words down in poetry
They do not tell you in the books
How to rhyme words with ‘poetry’
It is harder than it appears
To find the exact word each time
The struggle through all these long years
To find the words that sound alike
To count each meter of writing
Trimming ideas in brevity
For the reader uninviting
If one line has more than another in longevity
The war to find the exact word
The one word that fits perfectly
Like a lonesome singular herd Kurd nerd purred spurred blurred whirred bird
It must fit nest beautifully
So, don’t forget all the hard work
That has gone into writing form
In poetry does beauty lurk
A beauty beyond given norm
If you think stanza falls from sky
If you think there is ease in verse
I beg you to give it a try
I promise it can’t be much worse
commonsensiblyspeaking 
wonderful and whimsical way to share the struggles, and triumph, of writing poetry!
