Poetry Can Dance Poem by Frederick Nellist

Words painting pictures in your mind
Conjuring visions to the closed eye
License used freely but seldom unkind
Reveals unseen beauty, a rainbow sky
Romance is captured in poetry magic
Describing thoughts, happy or tragic.

Emotions erupting in lines of verse
Expressions begged borrowed and stole
Myriads of phrases maybe the odd curse
The poet lending his heart and soul
Food for your thoughts also surprise
The ink used by poets never ever dries.

Poetry bouquet will cling like perfume
Hearts touched by poetry always prevail
Colourful lyrics will banish the gloom
Poets can invent dreams that rarely fail
Special dreams can be hopefully enhanced
After reading a poem that really danced.
