Poem About Poetry - Why Poetry?

Rating: 5.0


why poetry?
to realise that
a simple smile
can mean so
many things
and interpreted
in so many ways

that there is
always a fresh way
to look at things

the way god
has been able
to give each of us
a new way to
experience things

a cross puzzle
he challenges us
to find the uniqueness
he has meant for
all of us to be

languages, geographies
genes, religions
universes, angels...
every facet that helps
a diamond to sparkle
its own way
