What is poetry? You ask what it means to me.
Well, to me it’s more than art, religion or philosophy.
It’s a source of feelings, deep emotions, you see;
Captured within the beautiful bondage of sensitivity.
It’s a language of the heart, a song of the soul,
And creative expression is its sole goal.
It’s understanding that word, which is often left unsaid
It’s an emotion which is best understood when read.
It is that uplifting force that gives wings to my thoughts.
It helps them break free of the shackles and knots.
The knots that cloud the thinking, restrict my pen
Poetry transcends above all, always; now and then.
