i showed my mother
a very short poem that i found here.
she said that it doesn't make sense,
why would you call just a couple of words poetry?
then i realized and explained to her what poetry is......
poetry doesn't have to be this long, over-dramatic, overly poetic piece of literature.
it just has to be what you feel.
it doesn't matter if it's good or not.
it doesn't even matter if it makes sense to people.
all that matters is that you have successfully said your thoughts and emotions.
and if someone sees it and is inspired to write some long sonnet,
then that's great.
if it doesn't, it doesn't matter
because poetry is the art of sharing how you feel
and inspiring others to do so, too.
