'Ode to the Poet'


Ode to the poet, a writer of word and prose,
Who capture in soul felt emotion, words which will never grow old,
Depicted through moments rushing onward, like sands through the hourglass of time,
They capture and savor a moment, like the flavor of finest red wine.

<><><><><>

They write words to be toasted with honor,
As we cherish the meaning they hold,
Their prose can fill a heart with the purest of love,
To be savored like silver and gold.

<><><><><>

One word on its own can be simple,
No meaning in the least does it hold,
But a few strung together in a sentence of making,
Can bring beauty and meaning untold.

<><><><><>

Ode to the poet, the composer of rhyme,
In rhythm and measure, so skillfully sublime,
Executed words and emotions, regimented in line,
To entertain the masses throughout the passage of time.

~ I love poetry, especially rhythmic thought contained in measure.
I suppose that comes from my elementary years - one might even say
'old school' ways, but I loved it then and I still love it, both to
read, and to write. Poetry can be many things to many people, inspiration,
escape, or simply entertainment. To me it is all that, and much more.
When you get the chance, take a favorite poem, sit under a tree on a quite
summer day with the breeze gently blowing, and just let the words engulf you.
You will be pleasantly surprised where it takes you. Wherever that may be, enjoy! ~ R.B.
