Poetry’s Present Presence

To Be Today as Yesterday,

To Be Tomorrow as Today.

Sparkles in present pure presence

That resounds aloud sound existence.

To expound Literature verse adrift elevations,

Alight characters that write ecstatic levitation.

Engage fingers from compotation redemption,

Where a poetic core rakes nails into teleportation.

Wherein spirit talons grasp soul’s very existence,

Adrift livid lines pulsating enlightened sentences.

Showcase poetry’s poet pride persona personification,

“We the Poets,” quint essential element demonstration.

To Be Living Poetry Today beside Yesterday’s masters, who dead resonate.

To Be Tomorrow’s Visionary Future for Today Poetry must power propagate.

Lest we forget the Dark Ages of woe, where Thinkers faced certain termination.

Poet must kneel down to grasp fertile soil baring the soul’s seeded vindication,

Where writers furrow minds To Be Thinkers, who lead, naught follow meek,

But germinate into fruition, for YOU are the present presence the future seeks.
