Poets and Poetry
This poem was written based on the YouTube video, "Rhyme and Reason: The Power of Poetry".
Their words like fluid,
Across whiteness of page,
Their speech, clear symphonies,
Across an arena of ears.
The woman,
Her thoughts raw, unfiltered,
The man,
A tone milder, set in ink.
True blasphemy!
Her words like needles piercing the ears,
A beau character!
His words, more agreeable to us all.
Oh woman, why should we,
The more powerful sex,
Belittled into silence and obedience,
Not cover these lines with our truth?
The "too- cool" blokes upon chance ask,
"Can you say anything good about a man"?
Well, Mr.Manly-Man,
Earn your compliments, then we can.
So, let man's writing be "gentler",
Let his words, welcomed by all,
Not deter us from our honesty.
This man, pure or not, cannot determine our worth.
Three poets, with witty and brilliant mind's eye,
Yet here's I,
Mere fool in their presence,
Writing a poem of poets and their poetry.
