Poetry Is Where You Find It Vi Poem by Frank Avon

Poetry Is Where You Find It Vi



in a brochure a cure-all


Belly fat starts to melt away
almost by surprise.

Joints wracked with pain
are suddenly pain free.

Out-of-whack blood sugar
levels normalize.

Muscle aches vanish.
Digestive problems vanish.
Liver spots, wrinkles,
even gray hair.

Your mind becomes sharper.

Your memory bounces back -
you never forget your keys again.

Your skin is rejuvenated.

Your body is flooded
with healthy antioxidants.

Canes, walkers
and even wheelchairs
are dumped.

Cholesterol levels -
just where your doctor wants them.

Blood pressure healthy and low.

Your immune system springs back to life.

Your vision stays nice and sharp.

Complete relief from years of constipation.
Gas, bloating gone!

Turbocharge your energy!

Go to bed feeling old and tired,
wake up feeling like a teenager.

'I can garden all day
and dance all night! '

Nobel Prize winning research.

Zero risk,
it works for you or it's FREE.

[Wow! That's for me! ]

Hi Frank I like the irony and truth of this poem. I too have poetry scattered all through my apartment. Let's face it - Poetry is a maverick, an unruly, sprawling kind of creative writing. It's always a discovery whether you take a volume out of a carefully organized bookcase or find it discarded on a coffeetable. But even when things get messy and and there's no more room in the bookcase, we are ever the guardians of poetry. I'm sure I can find somewhere a volume of Hart Crane hanging out with a Wallace Stevens collection or Ovid joking with John Donne or Emily Dickinson having tea with Denise Levertov. And always we are hovering near-by pursuing happiness with them!

perfect use of foot rhyme to bring it to a snappy conclusion FA
