The Effects of Poetry

As I read a poem, Imagination begins to bloom. Thoughts are portrayed, In lines of rhyme. Reality begins to fray, Only to be mimed. Dreams sent forth, To make a souls worth, Test one’s self-pity. How the far the mind bends, Through one simple metaphor. As the words come to an end, I hunger for more and more. Then reality sits back in... These thoughts dare to fade.
