Poetry can wound and alienate <br />Its' truth does not always heal <br />Just as I would not be disorderly in public <br />So I would not use poetry poorly <br />When its shirt tail of emotions hang out too far <br />It is best to tuck them in <br />Acknowledge the failure <br />And press forward <br />Against the storm.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-recalling-a-poem/
