In response to Poem: Ars Poetica by Archibald MacLeish
A Poem (in response to Ars Poetica)
A PoemA poem should be,
A piece of your heart,
that yearns for beauty,
for passion, for eternity...
A poem should be a song
sung in longing of your beloved
of your love for life,
for living, for dreaming,
for hoping, for losing,
for finding you feet again
after a near fatal fall-
Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes
after it seems all is lost...
A poem should be a hot desert
where feelings gets scorched.
A poem should be a furnace
in which passion froths.
A poem should be a canopy of trees
under which a tired soul
can find some respite
from his beaten spirits
after a long days night.
A poem should a mountain peak
topped with snow
where the fluffy clouds meet.
A poem should be a fragrant garden
with roses, lilies and jasmine trees
of ideas imagination and dreams.
A poem should be a balm on
bruised and weary heart.
a poem should capture your attention
from the start.
A poem should be safe haven
in a world full of greed
A poem should be a cry
of a heart that bleeds...
a poem should be beauty
in words, so to speak
spilled on the canvas of life
in a moment brief...
