On the lacy tablecloth an unopened book caught the
eye.
It was a book of poetry, guaranteed to make the bravest
cry.
Inside tragic verse related the world's sadness
and pain;
Also various versification tickles the mind without
refrain.
Composing a short story with talent of stanza and
verse in an intermingling vine.
The tears of the poet present the vicarious approach in a poetical
intertwine.
Leaving a knowledgeable but flourishing seed.
The capacity where understanding needs to breed.
The tears of the poet lends a soothing sonnet to
the struggling foundation.
A land with ignorance and stupidity in close relation.
As gentle hands picked up the book and read the
first page of verse.
The tears of the poet began to cycle and disperse.
