Appeal of Poetry
Poetry is the open wide window of life to breathe fresh
on creation cum recreation
and in introspection .
Wandering in dreams to be amused
on own muse resonating musical.
Human emotions is best to be relished
through poems.
Lyrics also are part of poetry to reflect in core of heart
neither to analyze nor to criticise,
Emotive urges surge to flow in opulence
in poetry sprouting through seeds of dormant desires
sown in human soul.
Poems , whelm sparkling as gems
on refraction, diffraction
through lens of feelings producing
fabulous, fervid, fervent fervour..
Whatever !
May be composed in symmetry of rhymes
or formed in assymetrical free verse
yet must be rhythmic being enhanced
in passion, warmth and presentiment.
Pretty Poetry has ecstatic entry
to find permanent place in every mind
The pipe dream that the fat man had
He lied and lied and lied
And some were still surprised
The damn truth wasn't in him
Call me Thomas if you like
For no doubt I had my doubts
And he had such clout
With the higher ups at the
Awful place
And he so loved to invade my space
To watch me fall from Heaven's grace
For no soul did the ******* have at all
no *****, no zeal, no common appeal
And damn he was ugly
Ginger would say assymetrical
And the charge with my soulmate was electrical
I placed him on my bucket list
For oh so long he made me wait
But I did not mind
For his love was quite my kind
And he was the one King James
Wrote about in the book of love
My turtle dove
My little canary
And I just knew
He loved me too
So I wait to this day
And I hope and pray
that god hears me
And sends to me
My Alfie...
so
ironic
that art
subtly shares
a dubious intimacy
with the slightly askew,
with the quite assymetrical
with the somewhat . . . artless.
