Mystery Poetry Is Burning Incense Poem by Terence George Craddock

the mystery of poetry is like burning incense
incense smoke streaming up each burning poem
flame lit ignites swirls up ascends into heaven;
poetry ascends ignited in poetic minds vast sea of poets
gifting passion paid personal verse rhymes spread across
an earth entire world; burning incense sacrifice art;
small flickering offerings creativity imitating God
on a small human scale; offering up sweet wisdom

crafted verses human endured pain life records released;
these are life mystic mystery mind melding verses
all great poets love to write; in individual forms
attempt to write; mystic mystery mind melding verses;
transfixed upon lines rising up instant from ephemeral
ether; this is source sacred collective immensity of poetry;
