Ironic isn't it?
A poem about poetry?
A small thing talking about
The larger thing that is makes up.
But that's what poetry is.
Poetry is made up of words
That people are afraid to say,
Yet yearn to write because
Everyone needs to let the words escape.
Poetry is a collection of poems,
Which are a collection of words,
Which are a collection of thoughts,
Which are a collection of ideas.
Poetry is a collection of everything that makes a person who he is.
So, yes, this is a poem about poetry
Because poems are about expression
And desire,
And the desire to express.
That's what I have,
A desire for expression.
So, I'm expressing my desire
By writing a poem about poetry.
Poetry is the small thing that makes up the big thing.
That big thing is me,
And people around me.
And we make up the world.
