what i love about poetry
poetry doesn't talk
or converse
it yells, screams
simmers, caresses
electrifies, vivifies
soars, carries, raps
pampers, wraps
dreams, dances
laments, soothes
embraces, catapoults
the truth, the
zoetic gold
of the heart
even if tainted, alloyed,
buried, misshapen,
domesticated,
melted, newly formed
the gold,
if you dare
read it,
if you dare
wear it
unveils the
24 karat
jewelry of the
human heart
thank you HP
