[hometext] => I look forward to reading many comments on this poem. Feedback is good for growth.
[bodytext] => Poetry can be fun It can laugh It can run We can chase it To the edge of the earth Or chase it to the sun And we might fall off the edge Or we might be burned But we won’t reach any scorn We will simply live and learn And begin to think things Once unbelievable Consider things Once unimaginable Sidle toward a brink Never met before Because while some poems Tickle the skin Others Peck at the bones They pry into parts of us We haven’t known They can break us down Like brittle stones Or build us up When we’ve crumble low But poetry doesn’t aspire To such a goal It’s not some Basil soup for your soul It’s whatever it wants to be So long as it’s alive Moving and free Or dead Still and bound It’s not up to me To make it some Perfect thing Packaged so well With bows And string I think the box Would suffocate it Beauty In utter misery [comments] => 1 [counter] => 169 [topic] => 69 [informant] => gregorygreen04 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => poets )
