The Art of……poetry? Day 25 of 30

Writing poetry can be loads of fun
Especially when you make up your own word-un

See, that is what makes classic poets far better
When they dig deep for words that you don’t know exist-er

For every hence, thou, shall and dost
Is an equal word matching in rhyme and syllabl-ost

It’s simple, no really, to develop a pattern
Just start writing your manuscript and let it developer-n

Study their work: Hughes, Dickinson, Frost and Poe
Isn’t it lovely how the words work together-o

One should not be bashful when starting to pen
Short or long poems that have meaning to them-en

Expressing thoughts and feelings a healthy exercise
When completed often times helps one communicate-ize

Do not write in fear of what others may say
Remember you write not for them but for you-ay

To master the art of poetry truly looks quite daunting
But with practice and patience comes satisfaction-ing

So pick up that pen, do not worry or doubt
Write your poem with made up poet words like the list I’ve laid out!
