New Poets (Neopoet Around The World Anthology Contest)

Poem Body

Immerse yourself into this realm of poetry -
move within the rhythm
play with the rhyme
dissect each pause and period
study the style, form, and structure
dissolve into what you read
absorb and ingest its energy

While here, you shall meet poets -
dreamers, realists
sages, discoverers
protesters, peacemakers
messengers of a world
unpolished and bold

Lovers of the written word
voices of the spoken word
travelers in the passionate
paradise of verse and rhyme

Immerse yourself into
a thousand words of wonder
imagined by a myriad of
wanderers and their words -
the poets and their poems.
