When Poetry Steps Off the Page
When poetry steps off the page,
It has come of age,
And is ready for life as a sage.
When poetry steps off the page,
It can many voices upstage,
And becomes worthy of repetition on any stage.
When poetry steps off the page,
It can bring forth a new age,
Or open a window to a long-forgotten anchorage.
When poetry steps off the page,
It can help us with the world re-engage,
So we can break out of our cage,
When poetry steps off the page,
It can help us understand our rage,
And present us with a softer image.
When poetry steps of the page,
Dressed all in beige,
It gives its creator rite of passage in any age.
