When the moon walks on your heart,
And the world is all an art;
It is a priceless portion poetry-
A poet's song of liberty.
Liberty of words;
A saving grace from swords.
Liberty to write
The world in a whole new light.
Poetry is a kingdom
Of expression coined in wisdom.
It is a pride of life,
Even for those without a wife.
Have you seen a tortoise on a tree?
Poetry is an imagination that is free.
It is a fact without a fault,
A world wide wheel without a halt.
Poetry is a gorgeous garment,
That dresses a mournful moment.
It is all an heart-borne gift
That gives the soul a sincere lift.
Poetry is a beautiful murder
Of my pen- my bosom brother-
My first and foremost friend
Who knows all beginnings and every end.
When you hear the talking drum,
And the wiggle of a black bum bum;
It is the rhythm of a poetic riddle,
An ideation from being idle.
Of all genres of literature,
Poetry paints a peculiar picture.
She is a fountain of words to woo,
Like the torrential fall of Owu.
Have you heard of smiling stones
And the beautiful songs of dead bones?
It is the wonderful magic of poetry,
To make a city of a cementry.
So when the moon walks on your heart,
And the world is all an art;
It is the verdant voice of poetry,
A poet's sweet song of liberty.
