Rhyme Time

A number of years ago I compiled my small collection of poems into notebooks to give to family members and friends. The following poem is one I wrote for the cover page.

My Poems

My poems can take me anywhere,

To places far and wide.

Or enter the chambers of my heart

To reveal what's there inside.

I can climb the highest mountains,

Describe a panoramic view.

I can paint a winter landscape

Though the morning's fresh with dew.

I can write about my feelings,

Somehow it always clears my mind!

And pull up pleasant memories

Of another place and time.

My poems can tell of sweet romance,

Of love that's strong and true.

I can detail every hurt and tear

When that love affair is through.

My poems can travel, see, and feel,

I'm the actress on the stage.

Whatever part I wish to play

Will be recorded on some page.
