Magnifying Glass
A poem is like
a magnifying glass
held over
one particular subject
the poet chooses
what is to be examined
focusing on
on the intricacies of
a singular thing
turning it over in his mind
to get a closer understanding
the poet is the technician
trying to analyze
to magnify
under the poet's lens
we now see
what we did not know
was even there.
