People look at poetry
like it's an alien
but they cannot see the
beauty behind the words
and when they hear
the word
"Poem"
they think what kind
of lame person
would write something as lame as
Poetry
i will tell you something
poetry can tell a big
story with so little works
so why don't you try
to read one first
a lost beauty
such as poetry
will surprise you
poetry is a lost
beauty
long ago forgotten

The author's comments:
it makes me frustrated that when people see a poem on a sheet of paper they crinkle it up and throw it away and they don't even try to read what it says ugh do disrespectful to who ever wrote that and they had worded hard on it i'm sure so i wrote this poem to tell how i feel about poetry i hope you will enjoy this
