poetry

what is poetry
but reason in rhyme
what is poetry
but a way of stopping time
what is poetry
but prose gone good
what is poetry
but thought for food
what is poetry
but the esoteric made easy
what is poetry
but the simple made sleazy
what is poetry
but intelligent feigning ignorance
what is poetry
but the stupid making sense
what is poetry
but a voice in the wild
what is poetry
but a grown up child
what is poetry
but a prison door wide open
what is poetry
but a windowpane broken
what is poetry
but a cleansing smile
what is poetry
if it isn’t worth your while?
