POETRY BLUES


 

 

What color dose poetry claim

What music dose it makes

What feeling dose it hide

 

If poetry was a emotion

Would we feel pain?

Would we feel the joy?

Would we see a different way?

 

Poetry blues

Down as far as I can go

As high as we'll never know

Out of the soul it grows

 

If poetry was a person

Who would it be?

Would it be me?

Or some one who don't know

What poetry means?

 

If poetry was a drug

Would any one want some?

I got enough to give away

 

Poetry blues

Is there any other word to use?

If poetry wasn't true
