There is something in a poem,
Be you from any walk of life,
Words moving those hearing them,
And forestalling any move to strife.

With a few lines the artist may bring,
Any image to the thinker's mind,
A familiar flower in familiar spring,
Or foreign gemstones of foreign kind.

Indeed as art goes it has no superceder,
Not painter's oils nor sculptor's marble,
Nor prose's page nor musicians meter,
Are akin to the wordsmith's poetic marvel.


The author's comments:
I was inspired by my favorite author, the Oxford professor J.R.R. Tolkien
