The Poet Poem by Paul Fowler

The Poet



How green is a leaf, how white is a cloud,
Not everything they write,
Has to be so profound.

Be it joyeous, or someone yearning,
There's many a subject,
Is what we are learning.

Free verse, or Shakespearean sonnet,
Whatever it may be,
Just simply enjoy it.

Stand and stare, or wander lonely as a cloud,
Just let yourself go,
Maybe read them out loud.

Embrace them all, just go with it,
Read far and wide,
Lose yourself in the world of a poet.
