What Do Poems Want?

Folks go to poems
To get some peace
When they feel bad,
To steal some words

They use for love
In their own poems,
To get or hold
Love close to them.

Once in a while,
Poems are for prayer.
Poems read to think
Are rare, but poems

Read for war or
For the just cause
Get their share. Poems
Wish poems were theirs.
