Truth Or Fabrication

The truth of poetry is what ever the reader believes
Words invading paper be it reality or clever little lies
Is one seventeen, fifty or one hundred and three
Love poems do they capture rapture real torrid and divine
Or just a poet with a new thought and competition in mind
Now human perception makes it whatever you believe
Word’s aren’t they delightful a trick or the soul you see.

poetry can be eternal, if it catches mental fire, or maybe instrumental, in stirring up the ire...
