A  
Poem 
Does indeed 
Grow from a seed 
As small as a single vowel 
And blossom into a whole world 
Of meanings in the fertile mind of its reader. 
The writer on the other hand just observes 
As the words arise and are written 
By a hand that this pen moves 
And is simply watched 
By he who is 
Called a 
Poet.
