~*~ In a Poetry Class ~*~

In  a poetry class,

you learn how to dance

between a line or two

how to dive in a sea

that could or not be true!!

You learn

how to say

enchanted words

& rhythms

that could take your breath away!

You learn

to dare

to be fully there

aware

of the distance

the resistance

of a line

of a word

of a thought sublime

that would not surrender

unless you have the power

and the key

to unlock

its inner mystery!

A poem is

A love affair

tempting you to be fully there

cross the sea

to really see

the gems hiding within

the world twirling wherein!

and you have to be

brave and free...

with a heart and mind

that can never be blind

but strong enough

to crawl - if it must-the mile

then finally

enjoy the coveted-reward with a smile :)
