What ever happened to good poetry,
The kind that set the lovers free
And forced her to stay up all night,
Wondering when again he would write?
What became of the passion, the love, the pain
That caused the angels to sing our sweet refrains,
Painting the skies with the truth
Of the two, so in love, though still in youth?
What was the fate of these sweethearts from afar
Whose story is written in the stars
That have taught us through their love
What some words are truly made of?
These phrases may not look like a lot,
But their value cannot be taught
To those who refuse to read with their heart
And truly appreciate this form of art.
What ever happened to good poetry
And those few could truly see
The power of the written word?
That form of writing was what I prefer.

This poem is a great example of good poetry. The rhymes are perfect and the whole piece is a beautiful question of what happened to poetry. I've never seen a poem with these words and ideas and you wrote it beautifully!
