Turn of Phrase

I like poetry. Rather a lot, I'm afraid.
It's kind of difficult for me to understand why other people don't, actually.
For me, at least, there is nothing quite so lovely as a well-said turn of phrase. And when you look back at all the utterly wonderful turns of phrases history has produced, how can you help but be amazed?
The sad fact is, however, that there are people who don't like poetry. I can only conclude that this is because they have yet to read that one poem that simply clicks.
So, partly because of that and partly because it gives me an excuse to find a new one every day, I'm going to post a daily poem.
First one to come shortly. Enjoy!
