These lines about the essence of poetic prose are designed to stimulate the thoughts of the reader and generate images one would normally not see on a regular basis. This is what the essence of poetry does to the mind as it elevates the soul to another level of perception.
The Essence of Poetry
Today, the essence of poetry
Is like a shooting star lingering
Not disappearing;
While on the other hand
The sun shines, snow sinks, and
Streets slush;
This brings an amazing sight of
The shining sun's rays
As snow sinks slippery slow
And side streets get so slushy.
Tomorrow will be a lovely day
Like flowers in May;
While smiling at my rings
Makes me feel like a king,
Alas, valuable things!
Life is good
Yet bad in its own way
Like night and day.
Just like when I went to the dentist
Came out later in a bending twist;
Seeing a disabled soldier in wheel chair
Yelling "I'm generation 'Y'
Why the hell am I here?"
Don't forget those who are:
Antagonist, protagonist, such absolutists
Give me someone who is a middle-ist
Wow a personalist!
Bring me dark chocolate
It' good for my heart;
Ate some and my sugar went up
Now running hills and taking pills;
Like all red roses have fragrance
Symbolizing Valentine's Day
White rose has its way too
Like each dog has its day!
Be mindful, aware, recognize thoughts
And return to the poetic breath;
'Cause Robert Burns over there
Made Scotland earned quite a few
Shillings and Pence!
As mountains of green trees
Capture the essence of spring,
Don't forget autumn leaves
Bring the essence of poetry!
