A Poem

 A poem is unique:

Only one person can write it,

Many may read it,

Yet, the response will vary.

All who read it,

Will ponder;

Their past,

Their future,

Or related experiences,

Then react to the effects

As it penetrates one's soul.

So, to genuinely enjoy

Another's poem; one must

Understand the words chosen by the poet,

Feel the words within the self

Ponder the underlying unstated.

Some may never grasp the meaning:

While others will remember

Its heart-felt touch forever. ©
