Show Or Tell Poem by Donal Mahoney
Show Or Tell
Some poets show.
Others tell.
Poets who show
use metaphor, simile,
rhythm and stories
to paint a picture
readers can see
then decide for themselves.
Poets who tell
are linear folk who
mean well but yell
so readers won’t miss
the cure for society’s problems.
Their straight lines are neon
so readers won’t have to think.
