The Meaning of Poetry


Poetry.

A 6-letter word of beauty.

Beauty that should be left as the creator intended.

 

You don’t mess with beauty.

That was somebody’s baby.

Somebody’s baby that could have been golden.

 

Just think.

You never know what someone’s gonna tink.

If it’s someone’s tink, you may interfere with the meaning.

 

Poetry.

It’s meant to be expressed as it should be.

As it should be, only one knows its significance.

 

Society.

Others may find peace in their study.

Their study being only how they take it.

 

Patience.

You might not understand the basics.

The basics are what you don’t have to understand.
