Analysis of P.A.M.



Poetry means much to me,
Especially when it rhymes.
I have a need to often read
Some poems many times.

Art also is a way to show
Poetic thoughts with paint.
Each picture can quite long withstand
The test of time's restraint.

And Music is another way
To capture thoughts and dreams.
Its rhythm goes and beauty flows
Just like a mountain stream!

All three (and more) can help us show
The feelings of the soul;
Our happiness and our duress
And all we've come to know.
