Poetry

Poetry is seriousness 
Poetry is just good fun
It is depth and emptiness
Shared with all and none
Poetry can make your mind
Slightly elevated
Poetry annoys that’s why
Many people hate it
The majority might look
For detective stories
Or non-fiction kind of book
Telling global worries
Stealthily the evening’s in
Fades the light of day
The clock hands rev up their spin
What I’m left to say?
What is Poetry, who knows
I don’t have a clue
It just comes and then it goes
Like a friend might do.
