A simple rhyming, kiddy-scheme.

If you look a little closer;

You'll find out what they might really mean.

So, You Should Never Read Poems With Your Eyes Closed.

You can't really read with your eyelids.

Though, you'd be surprised by those who drift, wonder, and sigh;

At raw poems that hide that inner meaning within them, deep inside.

So, You Should Never Read Poems With Your Eyes Closed.

So many of these poets, use their skill to make an art;

This art isn't praised enough, though, because it's their own hidden craft.

Abstract colours, waves, and shapes are made by using just words;

But some can't see that because their expecting futility.

So, You Should Never Read Poems With Your Eyes Closed.

Even though poetry may seem easy;

Like a simple rhyming, kiddy-scheme.

You will find out what it means.
