What's all this?
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
What's
All this
Poetry?
What does it bring:
Truths, hidden insight,
Bring laughter and humour,
Start a fight or a rumour?
Deep, shallow, etched in life:
Mysteries hidden,
For poet's to write.
Others doubt:
They find
It
Absurd.
Not knowing:
There is power
And strength in the word.
Poet's may not agree
But there's liberty.
Rhyme, free, and prose:
Delivered
As words
Flow.
Using ego:
That's a crutch.
Doesn't really
Accomplish that much.
Wanting the world to see:
Look! Look! Look at me!
Swept away in
Vanity.
But for:
All
Those
Truly bold...
Surrendering
Brings out the gold!
