Poetry...A Craft

Poetry... A craft, Much like that Of a mason laying bricks. Each word selected... Has to be placed, On a foundation suitable That's right... And making a nice, tight fit. If a piece is out of kilter, It is spotted (snaps fingers) quick. Much like building a home, To match the scenery where it sits! Appealing to the eye, But surprisingly comfortable For those who did not come to stay! Believing they came briefly to visit... And then turn away! Not when poetry is done to convey, What it offers to the mind In a unique and special way!
