The Poet’s Friend
A little book
In which we look
When we must find a word.
A word to rhyme
With every line,
Or phrase, or even verb.
We need this friend
If we should pen
Some verses kept to time,
For all to read,
A joy indeed!
When rhythm rules the line.
The thesaurus!
A must for us
If beauty will be penned,
Then take a look.
This little book
Will be the poet’s friend.
