Poetry

Often we think poetry has one place
it clings to the paper
it’s an acquired taste 
but look just a bit deeper and you will find 
it exists in most everything, it's in his sadness 
or it’s in her ring.

There’s a poetry behind all of our reasons why. 
Poetry behind each cloud littering the sky.
Poetry in love, poetry in hate
Poetry in each town, that makes up each state. 

There’s poetry in his smile
that sticks around all the while 
he’s by your side, through thick and through thin 
more than a smile, it’s a prize that you win. 

Poetry knocks at every door 
we may just miss it
but it’s there, for sure. 
Don’t be so quick to look just one way, when poetry still has so much to say.
