Is There Not a Place for Poems Here?

We write poems to be read
By you and you and even Uncle Ned
We create to soothe our creativity
Not just for frivolilty
Shadows of times gone by
Memories to please your eye
Answers to the questions why
Nothing is new under the sky
Everything new is made old again
Questions are asked by men
Sometimes answered on a whim
Do not sink, learn to swim.
Take words and meanings carefully
ScrutiniZe them with some glee
Having fun with creativity
But make sense literally.
Paint pictures with words
Make others see what you see
Poems to make you feel with me
Words to set some things free.

I think that you can post whatever you want here, BUT poems wont do as well.

@Hatley I suppose you could start with a question and then finish with a poem and see how it goes

Nice piece on poems. Do you have a compilation of all your poems? It is good to keep it so your grandchildren can read it. I also have some poems which I did not show anyone, but to my bestfriend.
