The First Bank of Poetry ________________________________________ The wisdom of the world is in a verse. The mystery of life is in a book, for poets re-create the universe in every rhyme. It may be worth a look into the bank of poetry, the vault containing all the poems ever born and all the clever words meant to assault our muddled brains. For surely verse is torn directly from the living mind of Man presented red and dripping (with a smile; the mask of jesters since this world began) that men may read these words of wisdom while they're pulsing with emotion, seeking morals... or resting, warm and comfy, on their laurels.
