An ode to the rhythm of poetry is a poem written by Maryanne in October 2015 The rhythm of poetry, A music from the soul, Like the sweetest nectar, You make one whole. You heal the broken hearted, You're intoxication above that of wine; You bring us close to the departed, With every word, every line. You can make the rich a pauper, Turn a slave into a king; Your words are written on paper, Those which we love to sing. You have no past or future You neither have an end Yet many a heart you've taken And been many's best friend.
