The Art of Writing a Poem

To writing down a poem, here is an art
that with a careful choice of words, it starts.
with precision, must each one be chosen
in the mind to create the perfect image.

Like a river, must he flow
And like birds, must the words sing.
A delicate balance It is,
But when rightly it is done,
a thing of beauty is the result.
