The poetry blog of Writer’s Digest through our very own Robert gave us a nice prompt – Blank Better. I decided to put Poetry in the blank, and here is the resulting poem –
Poetry Is Better
Poetry is better than most
awkward truths and silences.
It fills our souls with yearning,
tears and thoughts we want to
yell to the world or weep about.
Poetry urges us to be better,
stay better, dream wilder
sigh deeper.
What can be better than poetry?
It’s always new,
striking new,
eye-opening new.
Nothing’s better.
