A World Without Poetry
Imagine a world without poetry!
What a sadder world we would have
My late father loved the romantics
Such as Wordsworth and Tennyson
Poetry won't bring you riches
But it will enrich your heart if you let it
Lovers of verse must band together
Bring peace to a troubled world
Moslems, Christians, Jews, Buddhists
Hindus and non - believers
should all succumb to the lure of verse
There are those who put poetry down!
But they are wrong - dead wrong
Poets - keep writing
Your words are vital
in the troubled world we live in
