Poetry: A Sonnet
by Michael Espinoza
Why not appreciate great poetry?
It's not a thing just anyone can do;
To rhyme and meter weave in tapestry
Which long time after we have heard it new
Has power to arouse emotions and
Caress the ears with gently soothing sounds;
And when of memory aid we have demand,
A plethora of poetry abounds.
We're taught to pit the body and the soul
Against each other, cleaving us in twain.
Now song--now music--doth perform the role
Performing verse, to lyrical disdain.
While poems now are free association;
Psych patients write them all across the nation.
