Within the vanguard where thoughts marry ideas,
and substance materializes from a void in space.
And from this marriage words come to life
and are born free to express themselves.

Listen to the sounds they make
as they dance along on a white page.
How they conjure up images
inside the readers mind.

Poems often have double meanings,
or can be interpreted differently.
Giving the reader something to chew on
and bring to light what’s in a poets mind.

Other times these words are cheerful,
easy to understand and uplift.
And who can say which is the best poem;
those from deep thought, or carefree and light?
George J. Carroll
