Poetry

Poetry is meant to be
Out the blue and honestly
Like a lampshade vertically
Standing tall in victory

In a crowd or all alone
Poetry is not so prone
To be read or said out loud
On a cruise or in a cloud 

Expensive in terms of time
Poetry is more than rhyme
Rhyme is fine but rote is worse
Simon says a simple curse

Poetry is like the sky
Sharing some is way up high
When I can I spread my wings
For the love of learning things

Fantasy is a pure delight
Like a tale before a kite
Needing me and kneading right
Feeds a friendly appetite

On a voyage out to sea
Some are bossed or sailing free
Some are lost or meant to be
In a book of poetry.
