Poetry gives voice to the soul. Writing poetry is like singing; it should flow from the spirit. Unlike tangible things, poetry is not so easy to dissect, critique or explain. There are some devices that poets employ to create poems.

Dogwood Rhapsody: A Toast for Midsummer's Eve Fairy Teas and Other Woodland Frolics
Dogwood Rhapsody
Dogwood RhapsodyA Whimsical Toast for Midsummer's Eve Fairy Teas and Other Woodland Frolics. Gentle little dogwood, princess of the woods, I love thee. I humbly submit this poem to your beauty and for use in all woodland fairy gatherings.
slender fairy dogwood
gracious waving frond
woodland princess presides
ore' reflections in the pond
regal, royal dogwood
dainty maiden girl
arrayed in emerald splendor
bejewel'd with opal and pearl
cheeky little dogwood
hides midst stately birch
like a saucy little child
annoying her elders in church
gracious regent dogwood
smiles upon the forest floor
scattered bracken and fern
worship and adore
waxy-pink dogwood blossoms'
scroll-rolled petal tip
offers milky fresh bouquet
for butterflies to sip
enchanted dogwood blossoms
for dryads, nymphs and sprites
tiny china cups and saucers
for midsummer tea party nights

Lawns get literary on Athens tour - Decaturdaily.com
This venue, a fund-raiser for the Athens-Limestone Public Library in Decatur, Alabama, features poetry readings and garden tours at local homes in the area. I discovered, quite by accident, that my poem 'Trillium and Pine' will be featured. Here is the quote from the Decature Daily:
This Literary Lawns Garden Tour will include the “Passover Blessing” at 260 Brookwood Road, home of Mary and Joe Stephenson; “Bonsai Haiku” at 206 Shady Lane, home of Amy and Jimmy Woodroof; “Waters by Night,” the home of Jackie and Fred Bickley at 202 Shady Lane; the home of Barry Davis, at 107 Shady Lane, reflects “Emerson and Thoreau”; the home of Virginia and Theo Calvin at 200 Shady Lane is reminiscent of one of my favorites, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s “A Secret Garden;” and thoughts of “Trillium and Pine,” a poem by Marilisa Sachteleben, can be found at 271 Brookwood Road, the home of Cindy and Jerry Evans.
Here is a reprint of my 'Trillium and Pine'
warm wine glow
tranquility flow
trillium and pine
rthym and rhyme
some things to grow
some to let go
sad memory time
drink blood red wine
feel the days go
rain and then snow
warm summer wine
rosemary and time
good with the bad
happy i've had
time upon time
blessed be mine
up one steep hill
some remain still
rest in the vale
tell of the tale
mem'ry is song
singing along
verse and refrain
of lyrical pain
say what you will
life's a bitter pill
swallow it fast
don't let it last
smile at the dark
hold fast on the mark
what's dim in the night
twill clear with the light
you don't understand
you don't see the plan
don't fear what's not clear
hold onto what's dear
what you cannot see
may not really be
no menace to make
no dark shadow take
the trillium still blooms
in deep new-spring gloom
white as a maid
born in the shade
warm autumn wine
tho blood red, be thine
now is the time
for reason and rhyme
trillium and pine
