Beyond Words

Flowing words that show a story well Rhyme a delight to see upon a veil. Poetry soothes the soul, tells of feelings. Lines in metaphors, inspirational dealings, Verse that is free, describes virtual history. Acrostics can deliver any kind of mystery. Poetry more graceful than a flowing brush, Creates pictures and forms in breaking hush, Haiku surrenders nature’s beauty so short. Senryu captures humanities truth and tort. Paint captures sight; poetry feels the scene. Writers develop spirits, feelings felt and seen. Sculptors captivate realism, fantasy supreme. Poets bring joy, sadness, life, love, in a dream. Whether rhyming or not, a good poet shows. Few or many lines they create properly flows. Poetry rings out in emotions of various forms. Lines of any verse go way beyond the norms.

Good job capturing the essence of poetry! Poetry does indeed complement the other arts, and, alternately stands apart! Good job of making the connection between poetry, a visual/written art and the applied arts.

I fear poetry takes a backseat to the other arts when it comes to being valued. At least I don't know any wealthy poets. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce

i have mostly found poets writing fake plus outrage unconvincing rhyme but believe me when i tell you that this rhyme of yours is genuine since it does not tax the meaning of the poem
