Paradelle for Poetry |

Repetition and rhythm coerce the listener, Repetition and rhythm coerce the listener, Lulling them into a sense of understanding. Lulling them into a sense of understanding. Understanding of a sense, rhythm and repetition Coerce them into lulling the listener. Poetry, in sound and motion, soothes, Poetry, in sound and motion, soothes, A whisper of words awaken the soul. A whisper of words awaken the soul. Soul words awaken the motion of poetry, And, in sound, a whisper soothes. Meaning, hidden deep in the poetic lines, Meaning, hidden deep in the poetic lines, Leaps, unbidden, unasked for, into thought. Leaps, unbidden, unasked for, into thought. Thought leaps unbidden, deep in the hidden Poetic meaning, into unasked for lines. Lines of poetry awaken, coerce unbidden thought, The poetic sense, in a whisper Leaps into sound, lulling the meaning, And, for hidden understanding, deep in them, Repetition unasked, and the rhythm of words Into motion, soothes a listener soul. |
