Poetry,
Oh poetry,
Praise be
To poetry.
The tongue of he
That can see,
All that not caught
By those who cannot,
See what a poet sees.
By true intellectuals
Theme is hidden,
In muddled contextuals,
Convoluted and pretention ridden.
Always should a poet’s nose
Be lifted high to common prose,
His heart too deep
So low, it must not steep.
Poetry,
Oh poetry,
Praise be
To poetry.
