The dangers of poetry...

The dangers of poetry may seem trite at first.
Written in prose
Just a few words
Such minor verse.
It can't be so impactful to create havoc or curse.
But when combined with the mind where emotions converse.
You are drawn.
You are saturated.
You are fully immersed.
Line by line you read each and every word.
Captivated we are by the life that emerged.
