Fridge for Thought: People Fear Poetry

by ak on May 12, 2009

people fear poetry

people fear poetry
the way some people fear
frogs

read a poem like they might
find a prince
imagine the slime of words
on the tongue after
the first kiss
warts and all

ribbit

there’s power in a poem
if you believe it, if you take the
risk
