    ring

    poetry sings
    when it strings
    notes of a similar ring
    it has the voices of a king
    everyone wants to be
    the hymn

    and it linger
    when it does not hear a ringer
    it goes off to a gig
    pretending to be a stringer
    everyone wants to try it
    but no one wants to buy it

    musical is for those who want
    audible but with the quiet
    too loud and it is a riot
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    Loved specially the first verse, cacian.

    And it is true that:
    "everyone wants to try it
    but no one wants to buy it"
    "I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "
