Ode to Poetry
How wonderous an entity you are.
I only wish to share you with the world
and proclaim my undying affections.
Your powers are infinite.
Your purpose is true.
I am but an instrument to you,
as the pen is to I,
and the paper to it.
I have no control,
You are my puppeteer.
But I am more than willing
to lend my naive ear.
I listen as you whisper
I tremble as you speak
then I humbly attempt
to do justice to your mystique.
I suppose if I were to be true
I would admit that, Poetry,
I am a servant to you.
