POETRY BLUES

What color does poetry claim
What music does it make?
What feeling does it hide?

If poetry was an emotion
Would we feel pain?
Would we feel the joy?
Would we feel a different way?

Poetry blues
Down as far as I can go
A high we will never know.
Out of the soul, it grows.

If poetry was a person
Who would it be?
Would it be me?
Or someone who doesn't know.
What poetry means?

If poetry was a drug
Would anyone want some?
I got enough to give away.

Poetry blues
Is there any other word to use?
If poetry wasn't true
