JOSIE'S POEMS
Poems Which Capture
Our Poetical Language
By Josie Whitehead
WORDS THAT DANCE
By Josie Whitehead
I wish that I could write a poem
Whose words danced on the page:
A poem with rhyme and imagery
With whom readers could engage.
I wish that I could write a poem
That wasn’t flat and dull;
My words would lift your spirits high
Or my quiet words would lull.
I wish that I could write a poem
Which had the power to thrill;
Whose metric feet just marched along
Like soldiers doing drill.
I wish that I could write a poem
With special things inside:
Alliteration, assonance
And other things besides.
My special poem would fill your hearts
With words to paint a scene,
And not just giggle poems, of course.
You’ll know just what I mean.
My special poem would show some skill,
Distinguished well from prose,
For poetry links with song and dance
As everybody knows.
My special poem is one you’d keep
Inside your head for sure,
And, when you’ve children of your own,
This poem they would adore.
