Poetry

 
                                                        
 
Poetry is the language
of experience and emotion
translated imaginatively
with care and devotion.
 


Poets struggle with words
in free verse and rhyme
creating lovely poems
pertinent to our time.
 

Some poems are lengthy
evoking moods and reverie;
others are notably short
succinct and fancy free.
 

Poetry is written
for each one’s pleasure,
to read and to savor -
a lifetime of treasure.
