Masters of Verse

MASTERS OF VERSE Poetry is one of Earth’s oldest arts Practiced long before words of print. Every race had its masters of verse In caves, huts cabins, or tent. Stories in verse were handed down From one generation to another. The first told of love, war and more And how to survive each other. As man became more civilized He could not help but wonder within. Verse then took on a deeper meaning With stories of faith, superstition, and sin. The act of reciting became in demand As verse began to advance Every tribe, city, town and village Had someone who gave words romance. Today’s poets are on the World Wide Web Though many seem spiritually ill. Thank heaven for all who still have God’s gift To compose, teach, comfort, and fulfill.
