Life IS Poetry!
Life is poetry, is it not?
It is a picture, with its
soft hues, vivid colors,
dark shadows.
It is music, with its
rhythmic beats, its
swelling crescendos,
its jarring offnotes.
It is a portrait, with its
laughing eyes, blushing cheeks,
smiling lips.
It is a funeral, with its
wrenching sobs,
its grief filled eyes,
its endless tears.
Life IS poetry is it not?
