There Was a Time
There was a time when
poetry was poetry...if
that makes sense; I mean,
there was a reason for
writing beyond the writing;
and those tools of rhythm
and rhyme, transcended
words, and were divinely
transcribed to bring out
a greater revelation
of spirit and soul--
and, at the least, poetry
was for the young, romantic
heart, to feel wonderfully
young and romantic…
and for the old romantic heart,
to never
feel quite
so old….
