Analysis of I Am Poetry....I Am Rhyme
Joy Zito Dovel 1946 (New York)
As your ideas flow from within
I can feel what you are trying to say
You use me each and every time
I am poetry ....I am rhyme
Simple letters become words
Words become phrases
Your phrases are sublime
I am poetry....I am rhyme
Do not hesitate to write me
Put me down on paper
I am here for you each and every time
I am poetry....I am rhyme
Thoughts and feelings flow from you
They must find their way to written pages
This has been so throughout the ages
I am poetry....I am rhyme
With quill and ink, paper and pen
Ideas and memories you earnestly sought
Now come to you as you put down your thought
I am poetry....I am rhyme
Know me as you know yourself
Feelings surface looking for a place to land
The beautifully written word by your hand
I am poetry....I am rhyme

About this poem
I wanted to write a poem that describes what it is like to be the genre itself. How would poetry express itself?
