Poet's Eyes by Thomas Irvin Duerksen

Poet's Eyes

by Thomas Irvin Duerksen

I hate poetry.

I don't like the rhythm.

I don't understand the rhyme.

There's more to life

than poet's words.

But sometimes

I wish I could go back.

Sometimes

I wish I could

love the rhythm

understand the rhyme

Just one more time.

Sometimes

I wish I could see

once more

The world

Through the poet's eyes.
