A POEM HAS A MEMORY OF ITS OWN <br /> <br />A poem has a memory of is own <br />It has a music and a melody <br />If it sounds as it should <br />It will demand to be reheard. <br /> <br />If it is simply words <br />Then it will go on and on <br />Without beauty <br />Without longing <br />Without mystery. <br /> <br />A poem has a music of its own <br />And even when it cannot resound strongly <br />It needs to be heard <br />Again and again <br />If it is to be remembered <br />And loved.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-has-a-memory-of-its-own/
