Amanda Kay

I am a poem

I am a poem
When you give me rhyme
Witty:
Read between my lines.
 
I am only funny
When I make you laugh
A beauty
In your photographs.
 
I am only worth
What I’m worth to you;
Pleasing,
If I please you too.
 
All I do with meaning
Happens in your line of sight.
I walk in your shadow,
Until you give me light.
