[bodytext] => Shhhh ! Friends and fellows, bad tidings to you I bring They say the greeting card factory is now onto our thing They’ll eat us up and water us down and drag us down their way And no-one will be left to tell our truth at the greeting card factory. And watch out for traitors in our midst, I know I heard one say Greeting cards aren’t so bad; they’re an honest living today. But they’ll have us punching in and punching out, or worse They’ll be punching holes in us: they’ll be punching holes in verse. So, lines, hemistiches and verses of the world, unite! Together, till the final stanza, we’ll fight the good fight And don’t forget metaphor, onomatopoeia, rhyme and simile They’re our avant-garde, our rearguard - the entire infantry. O listen, fairest friends: sonnets, sestets, free verse, odes They have poetry software, with roll-out menus and rhyming modes If we don’t act now, we’re doomed our own mournful dirge to sing The future of poetry hangs on us. Those are the tidings I bring.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
