Language has a rhythm, words have a flow
When you substitute prose with poetry you know
The cadence of each syllable, the symmetry of rhyme
Words find expression in a manner sublime
In a harmonious sequence that mimics
Cleverly arranged notes in music
With rhythmic brevity, a poem conveys
Its message in an oblique, circuitous way..

I love the underlying cadence
Of words arranged in a rhyming sequence
A poem read out loud all my senses does engage
Amalgamates the best of rhythm and language
Each word, each syllable has an impact
It is an immersive experience in fact
I know I can soak myself thoroughly
In a lyrical poem’s vivid imagery..
Well-written prose nourishes my mind
But my soul is nourished when a beautiful poem I find
Passion...unbridled
