A Shout out to our fellow poetess Amanda Gorman, and all poets and poems everwhere in good taste. Blessings.

"Poetry” is a most powerful instrument 
like a flute that is to be played.
Also, it is a pungent possibility 
like a newly created perfume put on.
Yet, free to all, and for all to wear.
This is to be adorned, and is
one of the most of the highest of solemn calls.
Words that are spoken and then engraved,
never to be forgotten or ignored.

It can reshape the world 
that is in pieces and so, so torn.
A restorative medicine 
to a life that is very, very worn.
An elixir of life and 
a healer of lives beset by strife.
A lifter of our inner thoughts 
and our buried emotions.

A fire-works of explosions 
raising us up to a newer dimension.
A reversal of cacophonies, 
man-made devastations.
Words of pretty portraits and musical orchestras 
of artistical words:
Seamed stitched and woven and fashionably embroidered.
Also, made into a steely shining sword.
