How to get it...*

It is mostly words
Hyperbole or undertone
Like some bricks, left alone
Decide to build a wall
To shelter muse when rain falls
In its own slanting way
But sometimes
It goes beyond words when
What not said is meant. Then,
Ideas may rhyme in grace
Or disappear without a trace
Like paper boats in water clogged lanes
But I am confused, please explain
To understand poetry, why do you require brains?
(Not that you don’t have enough already)
It can be felt, seen and heard
Even by engrossed, resisting nerds
I think it is an easy to acquire art
Requiring just a misplaced heart

Think about it.
