What makes poetry be?
It is the form of words laid upon a page
That presently, now, is the latest craze?
Is it the magic of tossed out metered rhyme
Like clowns performing come circusual time? (1)
Or need we look into a deeper mine for gold
And bring to sun the trinkets to behold
That dazzle even Senna’s cynic mind
Striped to bone to be declared sublime?
Its 19th hole and there I think I’ll go
To see the next night’s entertaining show
For sheer delight and raw emotional rage
I’ve seen come leaping out from this thread’s page!
The answer to the question, seems to me,
Rests in the turn of perspective’s key;
Can the writer’s fashioned words help take
The reader beyond imagination’s gate
To place him squarely in the time and land
Like children called forth by Peter Pan?
