Poetry's Effect and Meaning


Poetry is more than what it use to be

But usually, it is to convey a message between you and me.

Nouns and verbs use to be said to increase strength and vitality,

But now words and slurs express one's fate from fatalities.

But what does that mean to me?

Well, I'm a fan of poetry

The thought that you are hearing this and you don't even know me.

Or the thought that phrases can influence people to believe in what they can't see

It is all astounding

That a mouth can make hearts start pounding,

A mouth can make people start surrounding,

Clowning, because they are so hype that nobody is frowning,

But it can also make people feel bad,

Or maybe even mad, frustrated

So frustrated that someone wants to take life and be incarcerated.

Poetry, to me, is a powerful tool,

It can banish fools,

It can lead to jewels,

Or even make the close cruel
