Analysis of Poetry
An art of taking life
And putting it to rhythm
To hold onto a memory
To lock it into time
Taking an invisilble thought
Then putting it on visible paper
Telling about what life has wrought
And making it's meaning deeper
Telling the story of our lives
And the story of those around
From the day we first arise
Till the day we lay in the ground
