So,
how do we show
that poetry is more than words in a row?
Sympathy, poverty
the depths of despair
poetry can take us there.
Putting a twist on the daily grind
Helping to explain what's on our mind.
A beautiful view, terrible weather
Being alone, being together.
A valentine's card
The horrors of war
examples of what poetry's for.
It might not always be appealing
And on the surface, unrevealing
But poetry provokes a feeling.
