I Do Not Read To Dissect A Poem

I do not read to dissect a poem It's not there for analysis Although with insight, it can become A good specimen for diagnosis. I read to enjoy most poetry To savor the meanings, perhaps some rhyme It's like drinking a good cup of coffee The taste lingers on for a time. A nice poem may bring me somewhere To the places that I've never been Vivid words may paint images there Showing scenes I have never seen. Poetry, as an art, is a vehicle That carries our thoughts and emotions Like a ship on which we can travel To a land of unlimited horizons.
