It is like taking a walk <br />In a forest by the riverside <br />And keeping a lookout for it, <br />For anything worth picking up <br />And keeping in your study <br />Or in the office to show to the other. <br />Can be a matter of locating it <br />Gently picking it up <br />Brushing aside the muck and dirt <br />And blowing on it, if need be, <br />Washing it, drying it, <br />And carrying it tenderly. <br /> <br />Later looking at it carefully, <br />Provide the shine and polish <br />And strengthening in places <br />To retain it in its place. <br /> <br />That is how I make a poem.<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/making-of-a-poem/
