Poetry: Yet Another Definition

POETRY: YET ANOTHER DEFINITION The words should mean more than they say The lines should listen to and lilt with the other lines The meanings should be inside and outside their writer’s intentions or All should sing And the singing should have a kind of harsh and resilient beauty. All these words Should echo and reflect upon life And add to it. Poetry should be more than its definition And any poem only its own even if written in a language No one will ever fully understand. All dreams after all Should be other than what Any single night can show.
