“A poem a day
Keeps the sadness away.”
At least, that’s what they say
Of their wordy ballet.

But a poem is more
Than words to adore.
It’s a way to explore
The things we stand for.

It’s a piece of art
That can fire the heart
And help us take part
In a brand new start.

It’s a modern-day scroll
That can soothe the soul,
Make our tight knots unroll,
And help us be whole.

It’s a way to help guide
The emotions inside
So we can decide
What to cast aside.

It’s how we can express
Our thoughts on life’s mess
So we can process
What brings us distress.

It’s a simple love note
That helps us devote
Our passion in rote
With each anecdote.

This is all to say
That a poem a day
Is a wonderful way
To fully convey
Our thoughts on display-
Despite what they weigh.
