REALITY CHECK

REALITY CHECK

I mean no disrespect to anyone,
But, I have a question to ask,
Is poetry all there is to life?
Now, will I be taken to task?

I ask this gentle query in verse,
Because I know not how to pose,
To poets and poetesses sans prose
This inquiry, plagues adding to my woes

By a poet on this very site,
Once I was asked the same,
Out of deference and respect,
I withhold the name.

Deep thought I have given,
To this matter and arrived,
At a simple answer,
That maybe wrong or right.

Within the confines of structured thought,
There lives a bohemian soul,
Who through this medium of poetry,
Reveals the part that makes it whole.

But even so, however profound,
My answer may have been,
It would be nice to talk sometimes,
As in, real people who live and dream.
