Can poetry matter?
Will you go get the book?
Will you allow my
thought process to
permeate yours- to influence
inspire, insinuate, and integrate
thoughts and ideas
you may never write down
yourself?

Can poetry matter?
Will this coffee shop
remember my words tomorrow?
Will I?
Will anyone even stop
to hear them?
Is it worth more than
the grade I get in English 306?
Will I continue to write and submit
when its no longer required?

Can poetry matter?
Will sonnets by Shakespeare
be remembered
when the world goes digital?
Will Emily Dickinson
still inspire minds
with her words?
Will the world still turn
without the written word?
Can there be song in
a music world
without verse to fuel it?

Can poetry matter?
