Poetic Calculation

Assessing the effects

That poetry can have

And measuring the number of expressions

That will come to pass

Along with all of the possibilities

That poetry can convey and be

So effortlessly

As you plot a course

Of the poetic sort

The meaning and literary substance

To report and purport

Document and speak

An essence and significance

That never goes bleak

And always available

To those that seek

Ever present and within reach

As it appears

To engage with both far and near

With various artistic content

Each times it came and went

And all of the effort put in

With much time spent

And being so evident

To the seen and unseen eye

For poetry resides in its own world

And with a life that moves by

Each and everyone

The darkness around the moon

Or the light around the sun

A literary substance

That stands on its own

And will live on

Even after the poet is long gone

For this will always be

The situation

The determining factor

With every poetic creation

And with a size and effect

That can't be fully measured

Or truly known

For it is unique

And a poet's home

For it is beyond computation

But how interesting it is

To go after and conjure up

A poetic calculation
