Dorothy & Poetry

Why is it impossible for some people to write poetry? I often try and all I get for my effort is awkward sentences. Poets often make wonderful song writers because lyrics are a form of poetry. Dorothy, a dear friend on MySpace, whose photo is to your left, wrote the following short poem. As concise as it is, it tells a whole story. It sounds effortless - as natural as breathing. Enjoy....

I leave a tear at your doorstep
For you to kick into a million distant memories....
For then, you shall be my hero.
