I Read a Poem

I read a poem I read a poem with closed mind, Words of wisdom I hoped to find, But all I got was much regret, It failed to stir my intellect. I read a poem like the scholars do, Every word, through and through, Deeper meaning, somewhere inside, But once again I was denied. I read a poem, Shakespearian style, Dramatic pauses ……. once in a while, I made the poem really flow, The inner meaning did not show. I read a poem of such delight, Where every word shone oh so bright, Full of joy and rhythmic beat, Cos an inner meaning I did not seek.
