Question: How can poetry affect the world!?
Bells of Blue
Beads of bell tones
gently trickling on my ears
The chime of wind
moving in crystalline rhythm
Dances of dew down daisies dress
and the ending of a natural era
Mother’s Garden wilts in bloom
Fumes rising in summer heat
The rain would eat the skin
The air
stifles the rose childs’ blossom
Forever on and anew
men seek gain
their business gongs
drowning out dews chime
Their greed
tramples the orchards of
Gaia
as we tiptoe through the flowers…

How can poetry change the world!?
"Oh, I could write a thousand words
And still not say a thing
Or bleed a few well written lines
And forever change the world"
Poetry's power comes from its ability to connect to others by image and concepts that transcend the words themselves!. When a poet creates an image that can convey an inner understanding, they've passed on more than information, they've passed on "wisdom"!.!.!.and it can't be "taught", it's an internal understanding of how things fit together!.!.!.and that is something poetry can do that entire books fail at doing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
How can poetry affect the world!.!.!.!?
Let us take a look at this
Poetry is the assembly of words in some kind of rhythmic fashion (and sometimes not so much) with something to say
weather it be a thing of romance
present issue
emotion (always some emotion)
humor
etsetarah

blah

Okay, in its nature it is one human corresponding with another!. A connection between people!. If one person can connect to another and change them in some small way, for good or worse, then they have affected them!. SO, if one person connects to another through poetry then they are bound to change in some small way!.
This is why we must all be watchful for what we say, regardless of anything!
I rather enjoyed the poem as well, you are most assuredly a poet!Www@QuestionHome@Com
One small pebble at a time!.!.!. some poetry makes people think!. If they start to think about things through anothers writings then they can go out and help make the world better!. I know it sounds like wishful thinking but, a poet has to wish!.!.!. or they die!Www@QuestionHome@Com
