Analysis of A Quiet Steve
They say I am a quiet Steve
Since others say much more,
And that they never hear me leave
Or even close the door.
They've never really understood
Why poems that I write
Fulfill a need that feels so good
To capture words at night.
So, I will write my poetry
With rhyme and meter too.
Creating thoughts means much to me
When words come into view.
