A poem is a presentation
of words to create an image
or render a valued thought.
A poem can be read silently,
it can be heard dramatically
or musically- by an audience.
It is edited and rehearsed-
as a theatrical mini-drama
to entertain or advise- which
the poet masterly directs.
Therefore, poetry is theater.
Theater presents happy, sad-
the good or the bad-
the wrongs and rights-
layered with opinions.
The poet and a cast of words,
often present them all.
This- is the poet's duty.
This is the poet's purpose,
and- this is the poet's joy!
