some historians insist that POETRY predate LITERACY
ancient storytellers spoke RHYTHMICALLY
of royal ANCESTRY and their timeless COSMOLOGY
even in the days before GUNPOWDER
when evil dictators laid down the law,
poets spoke even LOUDER
a wide range of topics emerged: political resistance,
life, death, love, spiritual enlightenment,
even the scent of a FLOWER
more and more this art was recognized
by not only the spoken, but also the written WORD
some writers 'rhymed' on every second 'line'
others, on every THIRD
readers of this form would have friends gather 'around'
to determine the reaction of the 'sound'
based on what was HEARD
auditoriums and nightclubs became the backdrop
for modern day spoken VERSE
some entered contests just to prove their poetic WORTH
in those days, poets only had one simple rule;
"before stepping to the microphone,
make sure you practice FIRST"
on 'stage' or while typing the next 'page'
even when we REHEARSE
Positive Poets represent the positive forces
throughout the UNIVERSE
at dawn, we give thanks to our Heavenly Father,
while constantly showing respect for Grand Mother EARTH
the 'history' of 'poetry' is a rhythmic 'chronology'
of creative EXPRESSION
for all those who were intrigued by this literary SESSION,
tune in next time and witness another lyrical LESSON
