 The state of poetry is such
 Yes, it's the very soul you touch
 When rhyme and reason is your spear
 When words you write seem to endear
 And many read your dissertation
 Finding fault with your creation
 Invidious the state they're in
 Invidious a state within
 
 You're in the pentagon of time
 Three sides are paper, ink and rhyme
 It's a reflection that you see
 A soul of words you want to be
 And thoughts precede the words you write
 And therefore you can never hide
 The evidence, the words are there
 The very moment you despair
 
 Such is the state of poetry
 Yes, in the pentagon of time
 Where all the words I catch are mine
 And if I trap the ones that rhyme
 I'll write a kiss my valentine
 And if I trap the one's that don't
 I'll have no poetry...my kiss is lost
 And I will envy those that write
 Kissing you into the night

                                            | A very Interesting Prespective. It is quite nice but I have one question what does this line  mean "And if I trap the ones that rhyme I'll write a kiss my valentine
 And if I trap the one's that don't
 I'll have no poetry...my kiss is lost"
 
 why does it matter if the poetry rhymes or am I misunderstanding. Either way I truly like your poem.

                                            | You have a gift that.... The state of poetry is such
 Yes, it's the very soul you touch
 
 You know how to reach and make a person understand.
