Poems are music that you read instead of sing.

They could be about anything, like the way the ivy clings.

Or the midnight sun in April, the cheering of a crowd,

the buzzing of a stinging bee, and a pure white, fluffy cloud.

Poems teach the youth lots of bigger better words.

Maybe, when they're older, they'll use them in crosswords.

Yes, poems teach a lot of things, and they can mean a lot of things too.

Where I might find one lesson taught, it means something different to you.

The writers of ancient times knew it, and you just learned it as well,

poetry is something very special no matter where we dwell.
