Ignore poetry

at your peril,

even a teenage crush

that rips your heart apart

as you find meaning

to your tears and anguish

can be found to be more beneficial

once explored in any shapely

form and luscious lips worth kissing

will do more for your soul

than feigning interest

in the rights of a triangle

tilted on its side….Ignore poetry

and when hoping to court

your love with words,

think back to the sentence
