“Poetry should be
great and unobtrusive,
a thing which enters
into one’s soul,
and does not startle it
or amaze it with itself,
but with its subject.”
.
~ John Keats

Elfje:
.
startled
senses jostled
shocked into disbelief
language of the ignorant
rap
.
Haiku:
.
words the bane of man
feelings of love and respect
nature needs no words
.
POEM:
.
deep and introspective
the poem delivers a message
written with an attitude
why not look for the blessing
think spring, think rebirth,
bring forth the brilliant colors
tickle the funny bone of mirth
feel the tenderness of mothers
a happy poem, not so deep
a song of words to entertain
pleasant memories the soul to keep
whatever it takes to makeĀ us sane.
