WAKE UP THOSE POEMS!

By Josie Whitehead

Wake Up Those Poems

Poems that sleep on the page of a book
Need to be woken, and urgently shook.
     They ought to be lifted and then read aloud,
     In a way that the reader can justly be proud.

Read with expression, with a voice that is clear,
With tone in your voice that brings laughter or fear.
   Don’t waken your poems from their daily snooze
   
And perform them by reading, your voice in your shoes.

Add a sprinkling of drama, add music or dance,
For mixed well with poetry, they'll surely enhance.
     Do a stunning performance to prove you're the best 
     And then return those poems to their pages to rest.
