THE CRAFT, SCIENCE AND ART OF POETRY

Creation or Evolution?

It is not wise to debate with fools

Language is the tool of hearts and minds

Of rhyme and reason-

Of truth and treason

In opposition to scribes and pharisees

Poetic philosophy- love is the law

Might technology replace my pen?

Doesn't craft require a hand?

Symbols and metaphors- a sort of geometry-

And meter and form to measure

Science is universal- mathematical

Precision desires perfection

Necessity is the mother of invention

Nature needs to express itself

Spirit says: "I need a body"

And bodies wish to unite

Who am I?

Architect and builder-

I shape my stone to fit the others-

Might we form a temple of souls?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Must it be called a rose?

Call it what you wish-

Every heart can see and hear

It is art if one creates it-

It desires to be loved

The craft, science and art of poetry-

Is the expression of its Creator
