The Power of the Poem

A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom. ~Robert Frost


Poems are beautiful pieces of language that roll off of the tongue.  They appeal to our need for pattern and structure.  At first we appreciate the package- the wording, the syntax.  From the second line we are imbibing knowledge and emotion.  By the end of the poem we have had an experience.  Go find a poem to read.  Change your state of mind, expand your horizons.  Do not underestimate the power of the poem.
