Step Inside A Poem Poem by Laurence Overmire

Step inside a poem
With
Me

And see the world through someone else’s eyes
Trip along the syllables
And taste the sweetness of the rhyme
The dripping of the consonants
Creates a music all its own
Thundering vowels and whirling images
Transcend our sleeping thoughts
The drums of the heart beat anew
And carry us far
Far
Far

To another place
And another time
And another way
Of being.
