POETRY…

Poetry is painting, wisdom, sculpture, words to fashion,
A crafting of phrases and thoughts and rhymes with passion.
About love and life and pain and beauty and all things pertaining,
About matters that lie within us, quietly and urgently straining.
To set them free - our deepest thoughts unleashed,
Tales to tell - to captivate - spirits reached.
To give a reader humour, comfort and delight,
To give solace, peace and warmth on a cold winter's night.
And yet to give disquiet and challenge, a differing view,
On matters most would regard as anything but new.
Such a rich mine of discovery, surprise and emotion,
Poetry truly is an endless, fathomless ocean.
Read it as though it were a tasty meal,
Devour it, savour it - search for its appeal.
Learn to value the passions and heartfelt emotion,
As you dive headlong into this abundant ocean.
Let your spirit swim and soar through amazing pages,
Of words, thoughts, hopes and dreams of folk down the ages.
There are so many enchanting tales upon this enlightening shelf,
Of life and love and passion and emotional mirrors of yourself.
