Poetry is thought,
Poetry is perspective,
Poetry is all that I can see,
Every word,
Every place,
Every era,
Everything, everytime, everywhere,
By every mean all I see is a poetic,
Vibrant and gracious side,
Of all that I see when I turn my eye,

From love in sonnets,
To the water in free verse,
There is a poem in all that I can see,
For even the uniVERSE,
Is but ONE VERSE!...
