4). Expression

modern poetry

You take for granted,
For the most part,
Expression.
You notice where there's some other decision.
You have to have the picture;
Credit where it's due,
If it's supposed to be;                                               

You'd overlook it;
People want to feel strong,                           
So they emphasize their choices
In an audible tone.
Even if                                                                 
It's mood; its not
Inherent.

More of them
Define expectation
With what kind of a well,
Or direction at all,
In active parts that
Come back both
Over it.
