Humans really seem to be more affected by poetry than prose.
Below you will find prose or poems I've found amusing or enlightening. Some I wrote, and am quietly proud of. Some are technically song lyrics - but some of the best writing I've ever come across has been in the form of lyrics. I'll add more when I find or write something I like. This one's from Cole Porter Ian and Annie Fleming were given this poem by Noel Coward on the occasion of their marriage.
