Poetry

Poetry is freedom
It permits you to
Express yourself
Without hurting
Someone

Poetry is like water
It flows smoothly
With twists and turns
That does not disrupt
it's fluidity

Poetry is music
When read out loud
It sings to the ear
Like a chorus of
Angels

Poetry is Painting
It's word brush
putting images into
the mind of the
reader

Poetry is carpentrey
It can be structured
in many different
forms!. Some pleasant
Some not

Poetry is beautiful
it is also ugly
And it can fit
snugly in between
the two

Poetry is love
Or adversarily
It can also be
Forgiving and
unforgiving

The Lake Isle
by Ezra Pound

O God, O Venus, O Mercury, patron of thieves,
Give me in due time, I beseech you, a little tobacco-shop,
With the little bright boxes
piled up neatly upon the shelves
And the loose fragrant cavendish
and the shag,
And the bright Virginia
loose under the bright glass cases,
And a pair of scales not too greasy,
And the whores dropping in for a word or two in passing,
For a flip word, and to tidy their hair a bit!.

O God, O Venus, O Mercury, patron of thieves,
Lend me a little tobacco-shop,
or install me in any profession
Save this damn'd profession of writing,
where one needs one's brains all the time!.

and one not punctually written
