The Positive Power Of Prose! Poem by Denis Martindale

The positive power of prose
Transcends both space and time,
Such that it speaks and overflows
Beyond the choice of rhyme,
And thus it has so much to share
When poets join the team,
For then it travels here and there,
As if within a dream.

The positive power of prose
Can challenge, or grant peace,
To praise our friends, despise our foes,
Whichever choices please,
To entertain, or educate,
Or merely set the scene,
To stimulate, or elevate
Great stories, evergreen.

The positive power of prose
Gets taught in schools each year,
And when that ends nobody knows,
Whatever may appear,
And while the poets do their best,
The readers must do, too,
Send cash to me, once you feel blessed,
By my prose just for YOU!
