Poetry: Emotion and Description
Poetry without rhyme--
Like reason without
logic--
Might work for a time.
It works with emotion--
Or vivid description--
To sustain its motion.
The movement of the
soul--
Poking and prodding the
mind--
Are good poetry’s goal.
All the better for it,
If it can do what is
needed
And not have to rhyme it.
But how far can it go--
Emotion and description--
Before mind and soul slow?
Get worn out.
Get found out.
Without…
That old prescription
That singles it out…
From prose...
