What is poetry?

by Michael D Nalley   Jun 20, 2008


Some may ask, what is poetry?
I think it's what we want it to be
Poetry is fantasy, poetry is real
Poetry expresses how we feel

Poetry is beauty, poetry is art
Poetry is written from the heart
Poetry comes from our minds
Poetry is the craft that binds

Poetry often has a sacred role
To comfort and ease the soul
Poetry is the words we share
To show how much we really care

    Wow..so very true. That pretty much sums it up. It was a cute little poem. And I enjoyed it. I also have people ask well what do you write about, and this answered that. 5/5
