Poetry is Worthless
Poetry is worthless, I heard.
It supposedly does nothing for the world.
But it’s not without value, I agree.
Lest the sweet voice of a child or
The sound of a requiem played in the distance
Wafting through the trees to my expectant ear
Be deemed to be without reason.
A prayer whispered on the lips of a dying saint
Or a liturgy penned by a poet of old
For a people who could not find the words.
Worthless? Perhaps.
Needed? Absolutely.

Worthless? No sir. Priceless!

Poet Brian Doyle recently wrote “a poem is a way to point at something we get but can’t say.” Keep writing things the world has no other way to express Brandyn!
