Poetr-E For Dummies

Once, I think, you said to me That poets are like the sand in the sea But each grain plays a part in that ocean To set each wave in motion. Taste this Little oasis So you feel The appeal. Listen, my friend, to know what we are How writing, in rhythm, does take us far Every word takes our soul on vacation To the culture of a new nation We are open When broken For we know How to grow. Open your eyes, and you will see That though we are like sand in the sea Our work is parchment coated in emery, Every word a recorded memory.
