Analysis of Poetic Melody

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



My heart, my soul, my inner self
Connect with poetry.
When they align, their strength combines
In creativity!

The poetry finds abstract ways
Through metaphors and drive.
They make a spark within the dark
And make words come alive!

The rhythm of the poem flows
And pulsates like a heart
That beats in time whenever I'm
Creating words of art.

The creativity I feel
Is musical to me.
Please take a chance and join the dance;
Poetic melody!
