The Span of Poetry

Poetry peoples my planet with joys and jingles I contemplate
Empowered, enlightened and elevated in my mind
Images flow and glow at a speed no other genre can manipulate. 

In times of loss and cross I percolate poetry on my plate
In the hope for helplessness in my mind to grind
Poetry peoples my planet with joys and jingles I contemplate

My poetry trail-blazes techniques initiates imitate
To salute the solution solute in my lemons’ rind
Images flow and glow at a speed no other genre can manipulate.

Poems in all their forms entertain, recreate realms and educate 
Folks from all walks of life who refuse to remain behind
Poetry peoples my planet with joys and jingles I contemplate

Poetry through sound devices and word order defies debate
Initiated to open new worlds and possibilities for the blind
Images flow and glow at a speed no other genre can manipulate.

Poetry paints literature which prose can’t duplicate
Although poetry puts lesser minds in a bind
Poetry peoples my planet with joys and jingles I contemplate
Images flow and glow at a speed no other genre can manipulate.
