Bad poetry and

Pure poetry?

Beauty

Is the essence of good poetry

Which silently

Yet powerfully

Touches our heart.

Good poetry

Is a jewel

A precious piece of art

Bad poetry

Is none of these

It is just a pebble

Carried on a squeaky cart !

And what is

Pure poetry ?

It is

A fascinating rainbow

Over the gate of times

It is the gong of beauty

Which in the tower of humanity

Forever chimes…
