Words are not just written
Often composed and arranged
In lines and stanzas
Analogous of sentences and paragraphs
Way are proses are created
Very similar to life
The themes are comedic
Tragic
Or mixed in between
Life is poetic
Absorb the words one at a time
Take it line after line
A stanza before another
Enjoy the rhymes and pattern
See the liberty for each author
And the limits they all work in
Perhaps, at the end
Meanings will be clearer.

Truly, life is poetic, and man, a poet.
