A Poem's Perceived As Such

A poem's a painting of a verse whose artist never once rehearsed the hues that he himself conceived for print. For poetry cannot be taught, nor can the perfect poem be sought-- a poet's words are not produced, but sent. A poem's a planted evergreen, the likes of which no one has seen, whose leaves are luscious and exempt from wane. For poetry cannot be stopped, nor can existing trunks be chopped-- the trees of ancient planters still remain. A poem's a lie sincerely sold or truth that is corruptly told, completely clear or indistinct when read. For poetry cannot be wrong, nor can it ever not belong to life-- the two forever will be wed. A poet is a medium, and through his art the world becomes available to be perceived as such. A poem can never be or say too much.
