For the Love of Poetry

Two total strangers, two peas in a pod, brought closer together, over something they love, Like the air we need to help us breathe, to both of them poetry is an insatiable need, Like the food we consume to help us survive, poetry nourishes the soul, so we can grow and thrive, Daily we dip into poetry's well, bringing rhyming to reason in an abundance of wealth, For our daily thirst from this well our lives need to be quenched, by the poems we read and write showing the evidence, Just as the earthly elements help the peas to prosper, we need daily doses of poetry, to share our pain, joy and laughter.
