Prose & Poetry

Someone dropped a pen.
His name was Prose.
"Write." Said he.
"Use it to bind ideas
With its tears as the rope."
So I tried.
But my strength
Rattles on his weight.

"Let me interfere."
Said Poetry.
"Scrape what you have done
And let your heart
Do the talking."
So I did.
Now I speak
In deeper linings.

I see so many use free verse as a perceived short cut in poetry.Definitely not in this case.Very easily read and understood even by clods like me......scribbler
