This is an excerpt from a poetry book I keep. I often write and doodle original creations in this book when feeling inspired. In efforts to spread more poetry through Odyssey, I thought I would share one of my poems with the community.

The Most Mystifying Sound

If I had to describe the color yellow

To one who could not see

I would explain it as the warmth

I feel when the sun shines down on me

If I were to describe love

To one who could not feel

I would say that it may be better

That what they experience doesn't seem real

But if I had to write about your laugh

To one who could not hear

My pen would know not what to write

Because that sound is far too dear
