Poetry Is Not Just A Game We Play With Words Poem by Shalom Freedman

Poetry Is Not Just A Game We Play With Words



POETRY IS NOT JUST A GAME WE PLAY WITH WORDS

Poetry is not just a game we play with words-
There is Beauty-
And there is Meaning-
And there is something beyond
What we have heard before
Music also-

Poetry is not given to final definition
Altered as it is and augmented
by every true new voice -

But then too
Without that play of words
How poetic can the poetry be?
