The definition of rhythm is something that repeats itself within a certain period of time. Poetry relates to rhythm. Poetry expresses a rhythmic value inherent in life. Moreover, poetry blesses a phenomenon, be it without rhythm, with rhythm in rhyme. Poetry, it's transcendent. Today is my birthday. And here, I'd like to present my image of age, composed recently.
AGE
So what with age.
Age is for those
Who worry about it.
To love your lover
When you're clear about it
Age is an omen;
Be transcendent.
All in all
They still hum it.
Just close your eyes
And sense with your spirit.
For it's all the same
When you really hear it.
Look past the pupils,
Beyond the eyes.
The retinas are hidden;
They're only spies.
The spirit is there,
Which has no flair.
The spirit is wise,
And has no lies.
No one can teach you.
You learn to see.
And when you do,
You be full o' glee!

- Even though I know you posted it to be a tease. Wolfgang would REALLY love it, because he speaks this way. He's in the VA hospital at the moment, but when he gets out I'll have to send him a link.
