I do not read to dissect a poem <br />It's not there for analysis <br />Although with insight, it can become <br />A good specimen for diagnosis. <br /> <br />I read to enjoy most poetry <br />To savor the meanings, perhaps some rhyme <br />It's like drinking a good cup of coffee <br />The taste lingers on for a time. <br /> <br />A nice poem may bring me somewhere <br />To the places that I've never been <br />Vivid words may paint images there <br />Showing scenes I have never seen. <br /> <br />Poetry, as an art, is a vehicle <br />That carries our thoughts and emotions <br />Like a ship on which we can travel <br />To a land of unlimited horizons.<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-do-not-read-to-dissect-a-poem/
