Make your poems Memorable, <br />That's what I say. <br />No need to be incredible, <br />Just let them play. <br /> <br />Read them with your inner voice, <br />Write them that way too. <br />Hear the music in those words, <br />This I'm telling You. <br /> <br />In ancient times these poems were songs <br />Remembered off by heart. <br />At least you'd call them statements, <br />Knowledge to impart. <br /> <br />Iambic metre's very common yes, <br />And so of course is rhyme: <br />To make these verses remembered <br />Through the course of time. <br /> <br />Yet verse is best as poetry, <br />Lyrical if you will. <br />We have to write with feeling, <br />And give the reader a thrill.<br /><br />Paul Butters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remember-184/
