THE POWER OF POETRY
Poetry is the lighthouse of life
Guiding the lost from a stormy sea.
Without it’s presence darkness prevails
Keeping us from all we can be.

Poems are used to convey passion
By poets of both good and evil mood.
Some are hateful others loving
Sharing thoughts to be consumed as food.

Verse can lead us to glory or doom
As we partake with others within.
Depicting our past, present and future
With words of man’s grace or sin.

People write poetry because they have no choice
Answering to the call of their gift.
Where some tend to pull their readers down
Others compose to give them a lift.

Always remember the power of poetry
Is used by both heaven and hell.
It’s up to us to choose our pleasure
As poetry remains alive and well.

Tom,

Well, of course I'm most fond of your reference to the Lighthouse and I think it's true what you've written here about poetry.

God bless.

-Bob

Great job pointing out the dual power of poetry. I think that idea applies to many other things in life as well. This gives me a lot to think about.

Writing poetry has always been one of my best teachers. Seems like you have had the same experience. Keep up the good work.

A poem's just a poet in a word.
