No picture can ensnare the heart

     As poetry on a page.

Words fly with joy across a *room

      Like a bird, freed from its cage.

 

A poem can glide on outstretched wings,

     With words that bring delight -

And its imagery and rhythmic sounds,

     Convey sweetness and light.

 

A poem can mend a broken heart

    With words that soothe and heal,

Or words can strike and cause distress,

    With blades of cutting steel.

 

You’ll find a poem upon a screen

     Or page of treasured book –

And my advice is: "Read those words:

     Find time to take a look!"
