Poetry - Audrey

I will never understand

Those who say they don't like poetry

Because what is the world if not?

If the leaves didn't fall

And grow anew

If the mud wasn't printed

By paw prints and shoes

What would the world be without?

If the flowers didn't bloom

And the birds didn't sing

If the butterflies didn't fly

And the bells didn't ring

What would the world be without? 

You cannot see

The world correctly

Without poetry 

 

If the bees didn't buzz

And the sun didn't glow

If the oceans didn't wave

And the rivers didn't flow

What would the world be without?

 

There is no beautiful sound

For ones who have not found

The poetry that is all around

If the roots didn't spread

If the trees didn't tower

If the rain never came

In sprinkles and showers

What would the world be without?

I will always wonder

What happened to those

Without poetry

I will always wonder

If they were okay

Because those who do not like poetry

Do not see beauty

In all
