Words Do Not a Poem Make

Words Do Not a Poem Make, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

words that a prison wall break
a wordless world
thus zarathushtra spake
yet words do not a poem make
poetry from your inner soul
with a cavalcade of words
you cannot fake
the sweat of your brow
tears tumultuous turbulence
much more it takes
stir and shake
keep awake
as your muse
enters your system
like a wriggling snake
reverberating your
rebellious spirit
make no mistake
poems you dont serve
like a piece of cake
the best poems
after a heart break
a memorable feast
the reader and the poet
seamlessly partake
