A Poem by Andrew Hawkins

Poems

what else but a poem
can take you from this place
to somewhere else in history
somewhere else in space
to a time of greater happiness
or the depths of deep despair
just think of an emotion
there's a poem to take you there
there are no oils and no canvas
yet a picture they do paint
battles of good and evil
portraits of sinners or of saints
they carry messages of wisdom
and hope to those in need
so next time you want to travel
then its poems you should read

Thanks this a great one, really like it, poetry and a lot of literary works offer a route to escape, they are just the trigger letting our own minds do the rest
