Poetry is...
Poetry is a coded message to be deciphered exclusively by you;
Never to be seen the same way by two people
Poetry is a declaration for you to not look at yourself in the mirror,
But to look out a window and witness a different perspective
Poetry inspires you to rewrite your life’s story
With someone else’s pen.
Poetry is a tale with a twist;
It considers all advice and then throws reason out the window.
Poetry is the reason abstract
No longer means abstract
Poetry is the key in the universal lock
Which turns all conventions on its head
And paints the silver lining on
Night clouds
Just to catch your eye.
Poetry is new beginnings and different endings.
Without poetry, our words would have no voice.
