Crafting a Poem

With pen and ink
Paper and light
And a turn of phrase
I start to write

Of dreams and hopes
Of nightmares and fears
With strokes of ink
A poem appears

Like witch's spell
Or bard's pub song
From poet's heart
My words are drawn

To craft clever poems
Each word I must weave
Into a construction
A heart can believe

Whether magic or mischief
Love story or lie
I've just crafted a poem
And now bid goodbye
