Poem Perfection Pursuit

Some people will study for years
to craft the most perfect of poem.
I'm wondering what they could fear,
put pen to paper and then write from home.

Words from the heart will endear
like waves crash the shore turn to foam.
His stanzas written will flow like tears
unleashed and free-falling to earth's soft loam.

Some will think all of this quite queer,
as Michael Angelo painted a dome
and followed the artistic flow he did hear.
So through life's experience the poet should comb,
For when he does this, his perfect poem will be near.


OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
